Yep, Podz answered it (I learned about the IRC channel after posting, sorry).
For my purposes, monthly archives would work, but I may work on getting the URL based option to work as well.
Hrm. I don’t think you’re having the same problem. I’ve been able to narrow mine down to line 129 of the file wp-includes/functions-formatting.php (in 1.2.2, as I’ve recently upgraded to that). If I comment that line out everything works as advertised, otherwise my webpage stops rendering halfway through the right-side floater (which means no content).
My upgrade to 1.2.2 just reminded me that I never found a solution other than commenting that line out. Any suggestions for further steps to trouble-shoot from a guru/programmer? ;]
Yep, tried that, and I still have the same problem.
