JadedRyu Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi ppls, while I was browsing around the mod section, I went to Latest (In the seatrch) and went to the very last page (I think it was 670) and I noticed at the bottom, it says Uploaded January, 1970. Now I find it funny seeing how 1: I highyl doub tthis site been here for THAT long, and 2. Wasn't Oblivion created past the 90's? Like last year or so 9I remeber prior to it release, some game store clerks had a T-hirt with Oblivion IV coming soon).. Why do they have this glitch? I know that in another forum I go to, sometimes old Pm's are listed way back to the 1970 but that site hasn't been around for that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 What I've always assumed is that 1970 is "date zero", and therefore shows up if for some reason a mod was uploaded before a certain site change. However, I don't know if this is correct, and if it is, I don't know what change would have caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I really doubt I uploaded my House of Clues mod for MW 21 years before I was born. I'm not sure how it happened either, but that could be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I believe this is correct, January 1970 seems to be the date that the database defaults to when it can't retrieve the right information. I don't think there's much that can be done about it, besides manually entering the date information for old mods (tedious and time consuming!). Moving this to Bug Reports anyway...

Abramul Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It should be possible to auto-replace it with "Unknown", or something similar. Of course, that field may ONLY accept dates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
