weird thingy....
sometimes when I log in and look at the forum index and over on the right where it says who last posted in that forum and what date and time, sometimes it says:
31 Dec 1969
18:00
I noticed it when I logged in today on the mod forumand have occasionally noticed it on the main BUS forum.
is this a me issue or is this a software issue?

It's a software issue. Periodically there have been posts about this...I wouldn't worry about it.

Apparantly the software (can't remember what software, but it's the one that control the times) works on counting up from 1st January 1970. When a post is deleted, the time index (it's a discrete integer) gets set to 0 or -1 (-1 in this case since it was 31st Dec, 1969).
I find tech stuff like this interesting.
