Update to edition behavior

Some of you have noticed a change to the edition behavior and asked me about it. We changed the behavior in mid-December.

The way it shows itself is when the system says you have no content to display but YOU KNOW that you do.

Previously, editions were governed by two main factors: date and active/inactive.

We eliminated the active/inactive piece of information because it was causing confusion. It may reappear in the future as a display/don't display option, but it's gone for now. As always, the site is a work in progress.

In its place display of editions is governed wholly by the edition date.

Here's where it confuses people:

If you create a January edition with the edition date 1/1/10 and then create a February edition with the edition date 1/10/10, the FEBRUARY edition will be displayed on the front page.

Why?

Because it's in the past (a requirement) AND its edition date is the most recent.

How would you fix this?

One way would be to future date February's edition to 2/1/10. Another would be to change January to 1/11/10.
