Re: [WWdevel] maa webwork site? -- archived forum posts have bad dates.

[P. G. L. <gl...@um...>]

Hi Mike,

I was mainly interested that the site seems to have lost all date 
information from posts since the site moved to the MAA.  If they did a 
restore from a backup that wiped out all of the old information that's 
understandable, but it's also really annoying---if I can't tell if a forum 
post was from 2000 or 2007 it makes it hard to tell if it's useful or not.
