I thought I would post a blunder that I made recently regarding the recent change from 2005 to 2006.

I run a site where users contribute reviews and must provide a date along with their posted material. The static dropdown year list on my form was not updated to allow users to input 2006 until a group of users began e-mailing me to complain about the mistake. Gotta love those folks, huh?

I've already implemented a script that will automatically update the year so that this won't happen again. ;)

Seems stupid but it's a rather easy mistake to make. Does anyone else have instances of the year being hardcoded? If so, you may want to make sure that it's current.
