When TC was first set up in it's current format in 2002, Hanford wanted a few posts to be "sticky", to always be at the top of their forum. To do that, he changed their posting date WAY into the future in 2020. But then those posts always came up as a new topic every time you pushed the button. See he re-wrote the code to exclude any posts made in 2020. Now that has come around to bite us in the butt :lol: He has reposted those "sticky" posts as 2040 but he needs to re-write the code to exclude 2040 posts instead of 2020 posts :) Be forewarned, this problem will come up again in 2040 :wink: Thanks for the update. Makes total sense. Hoping it's not a major pain in the butt to fix it.
