Issue Summary
I've been struggling with this issue for quite a while hoping a new version of date will correct it but up to this point I've had no success. Is anyone else experiencing this?
When I have a date filed and am using the basic unlimited instances options. I can't see to reorder or remove instances. Initially the dates save just fine but if I go back to edit the instances I can't reorder any of them. Also if I delete "Click the remove item" button the items visibly disappears but when I return to the node there is still an empty From/To field where the deleted instance was.
If I reorder the instances I receive the "* Changes made in this table will not be saved until the form is submitted." message and again visibly the change is made but when I return to the node everything is back in the previous order.
I've tried 2.7, 2.8, and .dev and nothing seems to resolve this issue any suggestions?

Did you click "Save" to save the node after re-arranging the date fields?
That's what the "* Changes made in this table will not be saved until the form is submitted." message is trying to tell you to do.
#3
Yes, I've saved the node. When I come to the edit screen again the date is back in the same place and any instances that were blank before and were deleted just reappeared.
Does anyone else have a problem with this? or an I unique?
#4
Anyone else experiencing this issue or am I the only one? I'm still having trouble removing or making any changes to unlimited date fields on our site.

Try the latest dev version of the code. I have no problems there. If you still have problems using the latest dev, try to reproduce your problem on a fresh install with just Date enabled. If that works (and I suspect it will since it works for me), you have some other module creating problems.
If that doesn't work, you can provide the steps to produce the problem on a clean install so we can try to replicate it.

I have reproduced this in a clean D6 install on Pantheon using the latest Date code and CCK 3 (alpha or dev). Downgrade CCK and the problem goes away. I'm going to see if I can work out what's going on in CCK.

KarenS,
Currently using Date 6.x-2.9+6-dev, Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-3.0-alpha3+13-dev, and Core 6.26. I am no longer experiencing this issue. Unlimited dates appear to be positioning correctly now.
Thanks!

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the same issue but I cannot delete date items in an unlimited date field.
I'm using the same versions as stated in post #7, in looking at the database the delta's are not changed for the remaining fields. I believe that this is the problem that I am experiencing, but with the modules I have installed I won't be able to chase down why that isn't happening.
For those intricately invovled with this module they may know quicker as to why the deltas aren't being changed.
FYI: when I edit the DB fields delta values to be 0, 1, 2, ... then the display is correct.
The problem may be that the date module relies on the delta to tell them how many to display instead of how many are actually in the DB
