Anything I can do to get annotations working?
Firstly my apologies for not replying before. I should have at least acknowledged the post and when I would be looking at it. Thank you for the polite PM to remind me.

The line in error is handling the timestamp format. This is set as part of the configuration. It looks like this has been changed and is not valid. To fix this, open the plugins configuration and press the "Modify Appearance" button. This allows you to change what the saved annotations look like. The bottom field is the timestamp format. The default is "%c" and can be restored by pressing the button next to the filed. If you press the question mark button on the right, it shows the format options with examples. You can use a combination of these. For example, "%F %X" will show "14/08/2014 14:57:43". Fixing this should fix the problem.
