: : This is a test of the Y2-What date fix. Dates are back to normal.

: : If this had been a real Y2K emergency you would have been directed to the nearest hardened bunker.

: LOL! Good job. Looks like your "fix" is a keeper :-)

: Can you share with us what you did to accomplish this fantastic feat of web wizardry?

: Clarissa

No problem. I went to the author of the software. They have a web board just like this for their tech support. It even had all kinds of 01/01/100 dates all over :-)

A bunch of people were like me, going "Hey! What's up doc?" In no time there was a fix out for the cgi script that maintains the boards. A little tinkering and I got it to work on this board.

*hush* The instructions almost worked as advertised. But I'm not complaining to the author. I'm a programmer too and I know what kind of stress Y2K brought on, so let's just keep that our little secret.
