Here's what I added in the edit link template: <IF {THISMEMBERGROUPISADMIN}> <tr> <td><strong>Date Submitted:</strong></td> <td><input type="text" name="time" size="{STANDARDSIZE}" value="{LINKDATE}"></td> </tr> </IF> However, every time I hit submit on that form, it changes the date to 12/31/1969. Am I using the wrong variable, or is this not possible? Adam

Your hack is presumably altering the database field directly, which means you'd need to type the number of seconds since 1970, and typing a date will get your data ignored and replaced with a 0 since it's an integer field.

Is there some way I can take a select file from the new version and use it in my version, or add a routine to convert the date into seconds? I want to avoid upgrading if possible, since I don't really need the new features and would rather not redo all my templates.

Maybe a snippet out of the newer version inserted into the old?

I'm not going to rewrite 3.16 into 3.3.5, since I've already done that once.
