[Bug] Birthdates problem with the YaBB converter.

[Col]

Hi,

Many members birthdates get screwed up during conversion. Perhaps a quarter or a third change to: 1969 - 12 - 31. They are not the result of members not setting a date, and it being defaulted to this.

It's not the end of the world, and I'll convert with this bug.

Did you have any mods installed? The reason I'm asking is because the converter expects everything to be in a certain place within the file, and the mods often change the location of this data. That date is the default Unix/Linux date (search Google for "unix epoch" for more info), and often indicates that the value that was supposed to be inserted into that column wasn't a valid date.

Hi,

I don't think any modification that had installed changed the position or otherwise alerterd their birthdates in the .dat folders. I have checked a number of these files, and the dates all appear on line #17 irrespective of whether or not their birthdates appear correctly in smf test forum.

 ! Try harder to get the birthdate right. (yabb_to_smf.php)

The birthdate should be, according to my understanding when I first wrote it, blank if they haven't set one, not 0.  In any case, I've changed it.... attached is the converter.
