Hello,

Just to make sure no one gets in trouble, did you get this script from Dynamic Drive? If you did, and you removed their copyright, people can get in trouble for using it with the copyright stripped.

I tried it your way and it just shows up as yyyy-mm-dd (2006-01-08) on the FORUM HOME page. It's fine on other pages...

Ideas?
