And it was 1:14. Hurray.

That’s weird.. I can’t replicate it… Maybe it requires Admin intervention?

OK, I can’t replicate it, but it’s a real effect. Any ideas?

15:58 12/2 is when it claims I opened the “make a new post” window… which is right, but for PST. It took about 20 minutes to write, and then I accidentally hit submit instead of preview, and that’s borne out by the 4:20 PM 12/2timestamp for revision 1…

Did you hit “today” on the timestamp before posting? That would do it if the timestamp was right for your timezone. Don’t ever click the timestamp.

Nope, on that Proposal one, I never even went to the Date tab. I’m about to try it on this post though.

That just moved the “post” time up to the instant that I pressed it. Now it looks as if this post was made AFTER all the comments. HEh.

Aside from that, NOTHING would change the times listed in the revision tab… and that shows that you adminned it 6 minutes after I posted it, and that I killed it within 1 minute of posting it…

Can I assume you’re willing to agree that you didn’t admin it several hours ago? ;)

I’m gonna go ahead and point out that it is technically a bannable offence to mess with the entry date section of a post, thanks to a possible scam I pointed out (but did not use) back in the day. So if you can’t replicate, don’t try to do so. It doesn’t really make a difference, as the proposal has no effect on gamestate, as it was illegal.

Well, duh.

Also, note that whereas the entry date times come from when the tab was opened, the revision times come from when it was submitted. Fun fact.

This is truth.

I don’t really *care*, I was just curious as to why it happened more than anything, so that it didn’t happen again. It looks like it’s not easy to replicate, in any event, so I’ll chalk it up to a convergence of the planets or something.

I don’t suppose, on an unrelated note, I could convince you to admin the two oldest proposals? ;)

Don’t care about bannable offences and curious? Not a good sign. Reminds me of early me. Careful there.

NO! Not that I don’t care about the bannable part, I don’t care about fixing it (due to your point about it having no game effect).

Ah.

Sidebar: is there a way to edit a post so that it’s not in a category? That’s what I was trying to do with those 5 revisions on that proposal. I couldn’t seem to get it right.. Story Post prepends as does Proposal (Null prepends Proposal… what’s up with that?) and I didn’t know the right way to “fix” it.

If you put it in the “Notice” category, then it appears on the blog without a category in front of it.

Danke.
