Yeah i was browsing the Faa and i saw a post from december 31st 1969 on this picture


http://www.mylionking.com/fan/art/Artis ... twork=4692

not that it's urgent but it might be something to be aware of in case it happens again to someone else's picture...


again nothing to urgent because it's an old picture and because from what i hear moka is redoing the faa anyway but just something to know about...

D'oh. Forgot to say I removed that comment.

This is a weird glitch of the old FAA that happens sometimes, much less often more recently. The glitch will most definitely be distinguished in the new FAA. :)

Thanks for reporting that!

lol i found another... but still i think it's mostly on madly old pictures, because i don't see it so much in the newer ones... i only find it when i go to either "year" or "all time"

but this one i found in annie's folder on this awesome picture

Wait a 'sec, lol. I'm not sure if this is very accurate. :P I mean, how long has Moka been running this website? XD

I display times by throwing a timestamp, in seconds, into a phpBB function that parses the timestamp into a date. It takes the timestamp, which is the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch on Jan. 1st, 1970, and returns a date that we humans can read. If 0 (or null, in this case, which is converted to the integer 0) is passed to that function, it returns the Unix Epoch itself, Jan 1st 1970. The reason you see it as Dec. 31st, 1969 is because of the timezone conversion, which the phpBB function also takes into effect when it parses the timestamp.

Ahhh that was fun.
