Upgrade Storage"et-al-min" change causes 'accessed' field to show in bibliography
Okay so heres the problem:
I modified Harvard Reference format 1 so that is lists all authors of an article in the bibliography rather than saying 'et al.'
To do this I made three changes to 'harvard1.csl'
CHANGES MADE:
Under <info>
1. <title> changed to 'Harvard Reference format 1 Bmodified2(Author-Date)'
2. <id> changed to 'http://www.zotero.org/styles/harvard1bmodified2'
Under <bibliography>
3. et-al-min value changed to 20 (normal value is 4)
<option name="et-al-min" value="20"/>
I picked 20 because i guessed that i'm not going to ever have an articel with more than 20 authors.
The problem:
The changes made allow the bibliography to display ALL authors (up to 20) of an article rather than use et al. This is good and is working as expected
HOWEVER, some bibliographic entries are now displaying avaialbe at and access date at the end of the entry. (eg."Available at: [Accessed April 3, 2011].")
Example:
CORRECT DISPLAY:
Bambra, C., 2010. Yesterday once more? Unemployment and health in the 21st century. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 64(3), pp.213 -215.
INCORRECT DISPLAY:
Bambra, C., 2010. Yesterday once more? Unemployment and health in the 21st century. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 64(3), p.213 -215. Available at: [Accessed April 3, 2011].
Why is a simple value change in et-al-min causing access date etc to be displayed?

Download the updated style from the dev section of the repository (i.e. not the 16 styles at the top), make your changes and you should be fine.
I have to insert first as Harvard 1 and the convert to my modofied custom style.
Otherwise i get the following error:
