Most recent one I remember was about the adjuster not working at all, knob turns but does not get firm or have any effect on ride. Was that the one? Nah, can't find it either.
Seriously, if that's the one it had to do with air in the system possibly with an oil leak,too. Have you done anything with the shock? Maybe installed a comfort kit?

If your knob won't turn, chances are (if you're riding it as Erik intended) you have the adjuster knob ganked up with grit and dirt and corrosion.

Remove the screw in the middle of the knob, and remove the knob. Clean it. Lube it, and the adjuster base. Reinstall, and it should work fine : )
