Calendar Glitch

My clan's boards have been experiencing a calendar glitch for a few weeks now. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but it may have something to do with your latest bug fix.

It's related to the repeating events. Basically, what happens is that all repeating events that were ever added to the calendar are showing up on every month, some of them even repeating twice or three times in the same day. I've checked the Calendar settings and the theme coding, and I didn't find anything out of normal. I've also created other boards, added a repeating event and found the same problem. You can find it here and here

Any feedback and advice is welcome and very much appreciated. Thank you!

An answer would be nice, please. I'd like to know if you're at least looking into the problem.

This question appears to be about ZetaBoards support. It's now been moved to the appropriate ZetaBoards support section. Thank you.

I'm guessing this is the situation:
The calendar had a glitch before, where the event start date and the event end date for repeating events were used incorrectly. Many boards, including yours, set up events the way the glitch was set up, where the start date would be when the event started, and the end date would be when the repeat was supposed to end.
Following the fix, this feature began to work as it was intended; unfortunately, this also broke the calendars of all the boards that took advantage of the old method. The current method works as such: The event start date is the start of the first instance of the event, and the event end date is the end of the first instance of the event, getting repeated as often as you or your staff chose for it to. This means that the way it's set up now causes a lot of overlap and other crazy-looking issues.
(Unfortunately, there's not a feature for repeat end date, for when the repeat would end. You can request this feature through the Feedback & Surveys section of the ACP. All feedback is read by our developer.)

I'm not sure if there's an easy way to fix this, but I'll look around, as I'm sure there may have been one somewhere.
