 * I was wandering if anyone out there would have a fix for this problem. I have
   a theme that displays the date next to posts, but for some reason the “year” 
   of the date is not showing. Any thoughts anyone?

 * For BuddyPress:
 * 1) Go to: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/index.php
 * 2) Find: the_date()
 * 3) Replace with: php the_time(get_option(‘date_format’));

 * It’s a glitch that occurs if their are more than one entry for the same date.
