Moin, I updated from 1.12 to 1.15. Now the date in the newsticker is broken. The help page still mention: {{Newstickerdatum|28|02|2007}} but I get this result in the newsticker (included to the main page): {{#time:l, j. F Y|201012290200}} Any hint? Thanks -- |Michael Renner E-mail: michael.renner(a)gmx.de | |D-81541 Munich Germany ICQ: #112280325 | |Germany Don't drink as root! ESC:wq
