Board / Forum Start Date is waaay wrong!

This was what I first noticed:

Most users ever online was 2 on Wed Dec 31, 1969 5:00 pm

Obviously that is horribly off.

This is what is in the Admin Index for the Forums:

Board started: Wed Dec 31, 1969 5:00 pm

So I know bbconfig is supposed to handle that - but what function do I use? md5? What format do I write it out in? 1/1/2004, January 1, 2004, 1.1.2004, 2004.01.01, etc?

Help please!

Thank you for your time and any pointers you can give me.

Put in the date you want and it will give you the unix date. Enter that number into your database.

(that calculator works both ways even though it defaults to change unix into regular)

Hmmmmmmm I did that - and it didn't work. Wah! lol

The date that shows in on the forum index page, in the Whos Online bottom box, in regards to the most users online notice.

Changing the boards start date in the database didn't seem to affect it at all.

So what did I miss?

It's in the table nuke_bbconfig (board_startdate). Is that where you put it?

Yup. Thats exactly where I put it.

Didn;t change a thing for the most members on at one time line at all.

I had a similar problem that I just fixed, and I think that this information is within the record_online_date row in the config table. Remember to scroll down since it is near the bottom. I hope this helps Very Happy

I fixed this in my database. The record_online_date was set to 4/12/2006 . I used the unix timestamp converter and changed it to 1144857600 and it displays correctly on the page.

Am I going to have to fix this every time a new record is set?

No, I don´t believe so because I had the same problem with my forum version 2.0.4 changed that years ago and it works until today more or less correctly.
