Date change question
by DrewBlank December 10th 2009, 2:38 am
Hi!
I've just created a forum here and I want to transfer all the posts (copy and paste), from my previous forum (on another provider on my Flash based website), so that the dates shown next to the posts are the 'real' dates on which they were originally posted. Is it possible for me to change the date on my forum when I paste in these forum posts so that the date next to each message corresponds to when it really was posted?
For instance, A post that was posted on March 4th this year. I want to transfer it by copying and pasting the post to my new forum, but I don't want the date for the message on my new forum to show as today's date. That would make it look like all the posts were made today. Wow! Sorry for explaining this so poorly. I hope you know what I mean.
Thanks for your help. The forum tools you give us here are pretty awesome.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm afraid that physically changing those dates aren't possible. 
That's all server-side techno-geek stuff. XD
You may just have to remind new members of your board that those posts are "declassified transfers" (some nice lingo there) from a previous provider.
