Title: Birthday Settings

mods-08152022.png 
smf: 2.0.18
https://www.thefantasiesattic.net/attic/index.php?action=forum
various themes

============

I have not been able to upgrade to 2.0.19 at this host...will be moving to  new host soon so not worried too much about the version since I plan to install all fresh files once moved, hope that makes some sense. It is a living furnace here in Kansas

The problem that seems to be happening is this:

go to profile/forum profile and all work to add info or edit EXCEPT birthday.

I have a couple of new members that have gone to their profiles there, added info then saved, it works but not in the birthday area. It allows you to add your info and then allows you to hit to save it. It then tells you it was successfully entered/edited but upon refreshing it is the original default setting and the info entered ran away.

Ideas please, I ran repair_settings and all listed the same info but wanted to change cookie so I did but so far that ahs not helped. What else can I do.

Also happens in Curve, so it's not a theme problem.  Defaults should be 0000 00 00, yours are 0001 01 01, any idea how that happened?  Anything in error log?

Hello Darkangel 612,
Have you tried uninstalling all of the mods that you have installed(or atleast any profile based mods)? If so, does the problem still occur?

Is this problem only happening for new members specifically?

Are you getting any errors in the error logs? If so, please provide them in your next post :).

Happens to old members as well.  Also seeing that I'm immediately dropped from "Users active in past 1440 minutes:" soon as I logout.

Why does upgrade fail?

I totally forgot to check the error log so will do that and get back to you.

I went to his profile and entered my own date and it took but as soon as the page refreshed it was back to the original again. I can't remember where to change dates and such in admin....this heat doesn't help either.

I will look at the link Shambles, yes it is all themes not just my old ones. I have totally removed the mods and then cleared the cache for Firefox [not browser specific either] and computer DNS cache to no avail.

I forgot also that I can't remember right now why the upgrade failed, several times. I usually upload all the files fresh from the package then check for naughtiness then do my edits for things. This is the first time doing the upgrade that it has failed since I began with this software ages ago...LOL

There was a bug with birthdays in 2.0.18, fixed in 2.0.19.

A patch for 2.0.18 was shared in one of the (numerous) threads:

I think that patch will work, he is not at comp right now but the settings now have zeroes in the proper places.
