Problems with "new products"

hey,
my "new products" list ( at this url http://www.green-star.com.au/products_new.html ) seems to be permently populated by items that are not new....

That is when I add new items to my catalog they don't appear at on the first page but rather appear under the first 20 or so items.... and the first 20 or so items have been there for weeks without dropping out...

what could be causing this?

Re: Problems with "new products"

Take a look at the following setting on your site: Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values > New Product Listing - Limited to ...

Is it set to "0"?

Re: Problems with "new products"

just upgraded to v1.3.8a the problem existed before the upgrade...
to better explain the problem
The latest item I added to the catalog is the "12mm Chessboard Acrylic Flesh Internal Threaded"

but these show up on page 3 of the "new products" not page 1
as seen here - http://www.green-star.com.au/products_new.html?page=3&disp_order=6

Re: Problems with "new products"

Found the problem myself....

for some reasons some of the items in my catalog had a "created date" that was in the future....

went in to phpmyadim and fixed it...

Re: Problems with "new products"

LOL. The next question was going to be a request for some examples that shouldn't be there with their date_added values. Always good to see somebody solve their own problem though, and thanks for posting back for the benefit of anybody else who has this issue.
