Damn the man! Your server has been subverted by the man! Come the revolution, computers will not be able to get away with re-writing history and will have to report the actual date upon which your new links were entered, and peace and love will fill the earth.

Until then, try offering your server a joint. Play soothing sitar music, burn incense, and strike up a conversation about the hegemony of Microsoft. (Only if it's a Unix server!) While facing Mecca, try to Build All again.

Hope this helps.

Tahnks guys! I thought the same thing until I clicked on that date to get a detailed view of the links and the date at the end of the description is correct. Don't these dates both come from the server? That is why I got confused and wrote the first message.

Kurt,

Actually, if the date is being reported correctly on other pages, but not on the What's New page, I'd think the error is occurring within Links, having nothing to do with the server. I wish I had a clue what to tell you. But it should be getting the "added" date from the database, not off of the server at this stage in the game.

That makes me feel better, I thought I had taken a trip back to the '60s. I have looked through every file that I thought would have an effect on this and found zilch. The template files,cgi's, .pl's etc. AAArgh! someone help before I pull those last 2 hairs out.

Thanks Phoenix,

Can someone please give me some idea on this? I have searched and searched to no avail. That damn 1969 is still showing up.

Also, when I looked at your site, "July"
showed up as "Jujy"

This may provide a clue

humorlinks,

I wish it was that easy. That is a typo on my part. I am still working on the 1969 part. Hope someone can help.

Check sub long_date in links.cfg. Did you change it, or the date format of the other sub routines? Try copying the date routines from the original links.cfg to make sure it's ok.

Cheers,

Thanks Alex,
I checked and the Links.cfg is identical. I have looked through the notes here and see that I accidently have left out a few things- 1. I am using the Yahoo templates and 2. I am using the 3 step NEW mod. I did check through those changes though and still have found nothing obvious

One more thing that may or may not have anything to do with the date problem; When I did a build this morning, I got the following Error:


Couldn't rename! Had to copy. Strange: File exists
Done.

Updating ratings ..
Couldn't rename! Had to copy. Strange: File exists
Done.

Any help - would be appreciated

Well, I think I found what is known a a clue. When I build the pages - the only page that is built under the NEW directory is an Index.html file. Isn't there supposed to be a file for each date that a new site is added?

HELP pleeeez
