Calendar?

Hi!
Why does the calendar only go up to 2024?
There also seems to something going on with birthdays at times. Example is from today.

Re: Calendar?

I suspect this is a glitch with the forum software, I suspect that it was never coded to reconize dates in 2025 this software is from 2004, it is extremely outdated and this is probably on of many issues we have from the dated software.

Re: Calendar?

I had no idea how prevalent the problem (time in general) was:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_f...d_storage_bugs

I was aware if Y2K, Y2K38, and Y2K42, but my goodness people are shortsighted!

This makes me lol though:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_f...92,277,026,596

Quote:
Year 292,277,026,596
Systems that store Unix time in seconds using signed 64-bit integers will theoretically be able to represent dates and times up until 15:30:08 UTC on Sunday, 4 December, AD 292,277,026,596.[5][90][91] This year is so far in the future (well beyond the likely lifespan of the Earth, the Sun, humanity, and even past some predictions of the lifetime of the universe) that it is mainly referenced as a matter of theoretical interest, joke, or an indication that earlier versions like the year 2038 problem cannot be truly "solved" forever.
Edited to add: The company I used to work for (I now work for the company they outsourced to ) stored dates in a two byte field and is working through their own "Y2K29 problem" that didn't make the wiki list.

Good enough! The birthday/special events features are hardly critical components to the site. 2025 (and beyond?) is still working as far as I can tell, just not as selectable options for filtering.

Thank you!

Re: Calendar?

And for what it's worth, what drew me to this anomaly was when I added some logic to a google sheet I created in December that includes interesting (to me) statistics using "DateDif" with "Start of Site", "Join Date", and "Last Activity", when wishing folks a happy birthday.

Some still active users I've noted (on their birthdays) that stand out:
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=25013 - dreamliner77 (48), active for 19 years, 9 months, 28 days
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=29560 - loulouthefox (78), active for 19 years, 9 months, 17 days
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=58953 - StainlessRust (75), active for 19 years, 3 months, 27 days
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=70088 - Triumph (67), active for 19 years, 2 months, 11 days
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=69233 - CarlV (71), active for 19 years, 2 months, 7 days

Tell me this site is special without telling me this site is special.

Re: Calendar?

Should be fixed now, our fearless leader was able to correct via some settings in the back-end!
