Tech: Max--Year 2000 (Y2K problem?)

Max;

What will happen to the database and forum in the Year 2000. Is Mudcat compliant or will we lose our favorite resource and chat? Some folks are trying to tell us it is just a software problem but it goes beyond that. I'm usre you folks have considered it but just wanted some reassurance.

Thanks , Richard

I THINK that the only thing that happens is that Max turns into a pumpkin (and maybe I'll turn into a bar)

So what you're saying is that the Entire DT is becoming a video slot machine in the year 2000! :)

Looks to me like 2-digit years in the threads, so depending on what you're using, the sorts could be wrong without century in the date.

Of course Max has mentioned that he's trying to port the database and forum to SQL. That should take care of most Y2K problems.

There is no y2k problem with the mudcat. We arre much too smart for that. The years are stored as four digit, though I only display two for space reasons on the mudcat. No worries.

I knew that--just wanted to be reassured. Thanks Max
