How to change the date of a post?
 

<font size="4">I had an issue with the date and time being set wrong on my computer so all posts that were made within the last 24 hours say they were posted on 4/16/06 when really it should have been 3/16/06 So now that the date is set correctly when people post in those threads the NEW POSTS go ABOVE the old posts.

So does anyone know how I can change the date of certain posts so that I can get them all in order? I am assuming that I should be able to edit the dateline in the database manually but how do you decode the dateline value? Example: dateline value of a post is 1142577636 = 3/16/06 @ 11:40PM So how would I go about decoding that so I can edit the other posts?

TIA</font>

the time 1142577636 represents the time in seconds since 1/1/1970

In theory to put the posts back a day, all you need to do is usbtract 86400 from each of the numbers you wish to change.

Alternativly there is an advanced edit hack on here that allows admins to change the timestmp of posts from within the edit menu.

Please don't change your font size as you post.

THere's no calculation that you need to do. http://www.php.net/time and http://www.php.net/date .

Why are you shouting like that?

I know of two hacks:

WOW Im not trying to be a ++++ but if it's such a problem why don't you have the admin disable the font size function! I mean seriously is it that big a deal :ermm: It's just a habit.

Shouting? LOL THIS IS SHOUTING :p
