Re: Question about Date/Time stamps on pages

If you are referring to the timestamp in the page header and the end of the page, then they are neither. They are just integer counters that are incremented each time a page is modified. There is no way to translate these timestamps into any meaningful date or time. > If I was to have to set the hardware date back to 1972 (It has the same > calendar as the year 2000) how would the engine react when I brought it up > and it saw that the Date/Time stamps on the pages are set to values far > into the future? As they do not actually reflect a point in time, they should not be affected. P.S. I almost deleted this reply when I saw your return address. If you want an answer, provide a valid address.

I used to put my work email address in posts to usenet but I started getting so much porn, MLM and pyramid scheme spam that my account became virtually unusable. I literally had to have a new Internet email address created and as a result I am now hyper protective of posting it in public forums like this. I guess I need to setup an account on Yahoo or the likes for things like this.
