Anyone over there feel like lifting something other than an overpriced Chai latte and fixing the forums here?

"Welcome, Beatrix Ireman.

I know its a new account and stuff, but it should say "Welcome Beatrix Ireman, this is the first time you've accessed the forums" or something like that. If you need help with vi let me know. :)

Thanks!

its sounds like some error with the date() formula on PHP, nothing to worry about that

heh. i've noticed that SL has quite an affinity for 1969. i've been simply amazed at the amount of content created in 1969, as well as properties acquired.

Wow, 1st post and pulling LL to pieces, you'll fit in well here, till you flip out completely after hitting your head against the brick wall. welcome newbie (unless of course this is just another new alt to post in the Adult Continent threads) :)

Yeah, it's just how zero gets displayed with Unix-inspired date routines. The time functions coming from there use midnight 1970-01-01 as the beginning of time, and time zone adjustments often show it as late the night before.

When you run into it, the November 30 birthday thing is an ancient vBulletin bug, the fix is ancient too but never used here.

On forum stuff in general, I peeked in on the Xstreet side of things and there are some interesting little developments over there. Actual Lindens (and not only Xstreet ones) have been jumping into threads in the general section over there (they got to keep their general forum). Actual Lindens are moderating there (!). And the technical support forum was just converted into a near-clone of Resident Answers (well, what RA was officially supposed to be). Forum navigation, new post marking, etc. are pretty nasty with the phpbb they are using, but at least formatting works.
