You know, I recall setting it to the highest year, but I could have sworn I put in the real day and month. *Does so*

And yeah, since 2035 is the highest the timestamp will go, there could be massive problems after that. Think Y2K, except for real, because a lot of systems depend on this sort of thing. Though I imagine they'll have worked something out by then. (Anyone who knows a damn thing about hex should have realized that the year 2000 means absolutely nothing to a computer. 2156 maybe, but not 2000.)

And the birthday bug was nothing compared to when a security test accidentally set every user's last activity to one minute ago, making every single one show up as online. Just recently too.

That's an Unix limitation, althought I do hope it's fixed in time anyway. Like the Y2K bug was. The board is running on Linux with Apache, so the limations apply to this board too.

Althought it's even worser on Acmlm's private server. It talks about Windows servers not supporting dates before 1980 on the memberlist.
