Um...i don't know if this has already been seen but on page 257 of the general discussion there's a post that says its from 1969. Its a post grand exchange thread. heres the link. http://forum.tip.it/viewforum.php?f=30&st=0&sk=t&sd=d&start=12800

Moving from Website Updates to Forum Discussion, though I can't imagine what kind of responses you will get.

Sometimes there is a problem with the date code used to display dates on the site/forums. If there is something wrong with it the system goes back to its default date, which in this case is 1969. Its just a small error with the code.

Yeah, I've seen this on other forums, specifically with the join date for many users.

C'mon, 1969? The internet wasn't even around until the late 1970s... :P

That's because time in most applications is not measured by recording the date and time in a normal format, it's measured by recording the amount of seconds since January 1st, 1970. When the forum issues arose we lost the creation times of those threads, so the forum sees the time as 0, and hence as 1970.

Pure_MageUK, wait... I thought the measurement was from 'Jan. 1, 1904'? :? ... Call me crazy, but something just doesn't add up about 1969... :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

magmaguard3, as for the bug, I do have to say that's odd... But I'd bet Pure_MageUK can reach into the database tables and tweak that back into place. :thumbsup:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

 

 

 

Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing points in time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. It is widely used not only on Unix-like operating systems but also in many other computing systems.

 

 

 

 

 

PHP's time() function :

 

 

Description

 

int time ( void )

 

 

 

Returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).

Have to say that's quite amusing. Oh well, it won't hurt anyone.

Well thanks for the info. I was just wondering what was up.
