Forum FAQ tip

[subhuman]

If your computer's date is set far, far into the future - say, March 20, 2020, you won't be able to logon properly. I have no idea how, but my date was changed (not by me, and my XP was locked all night). Logins would simply "work" but wouldn't actually log me in (user name at the bottom of the forum index after logging in was "N/A").

Perhaps a good thing to add to the Forum's FAQ in the "trouble logging in?" section... would have saved me a few minutes.

Um that's a freak bug as opposed to an actual mentionable problem with the forum - how many people have their date set 20 years ahead?

Maybe people who are trying to get around time deactivated program demos? 😀

It is probably a Coldfusion set. If you go too far ahead, it probably thinks it is 1920 not 2020. That can be changed, btu probably will not be.

Wouldn't they have to go "back" in time?

Not if you go forward enough.

That's only because I think windows is set to have any date past "20" to be considered 1920 (it may be a different number, but 20 sounds right). Anyways, '20' would actually have you at 1920, thus going 'back' in time.
