Join Dates

How come my join date reads as 04.23.04 ? I joined before that. I have posts listed from before that date.

** correction. I keep reading the American date formats wrong:P I did think I had joined before that but I must be mistaken. Guess a lotr's happened in a little over two years. Feels like longer.

what, you thought you joined on the fourth day of the twenty third month?

heheh nope. I saw my join date initially as April 2004 as it says under my name. When i went into profile the number read 04.23.04. With the number in the middle being higher than 12 it was something of a clue that this is the American calendar :P Then when i went off trawling through my earlier posts, trying to see if I could find something to jog my memory as to how and why I'd ended up in the Cellar in the first place, I forgot I was looking at American calendar dates. I forgot to make allowances and the dates i was looking at didn't have a middle number higher than 12 to jog my memory. I see this date : 05.02.04, I instincively see the 5th February 2004.

It was very late, I was very tired, I posted before I'd really thought about it :P

Yeah, American Middle-Endian date format ususally confuses me, too. But I like yyyy/mm/dd better -- sorting is easier.

When I first signed up the cellar had an issue with their server, and lost all the data for that day (if I am remembering correctly) and I had to rejoin the next day, not a big deal really. :handball:
