Hi Hugh and Richard, My apologies Richard - I did get an email from you back on the 31st of March asking if the bug persists and it does.
I posted bug 722470 along with bug 422475 (they both relate to the TO and FROM date problem). I can confirm that we use PHP version 5.2.6. I'd be reluctant to upgrade this to 5.3 simply because we also run quite a significant installation of Moodle and I am not sure what side effects might come about. Are you able to provide any feedback on this? I have tested it on demo.mahara.org and it does seem to work there so you may well have hit the nail on the head about the cause of the problem. However, bug 722475 is still a problem on demo.mahara.org. I'll reply to that bug shortly using the link specifically for that bug.
