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

[Michael G. <ga...@ma...>]

Hi all,

I've managed to fix the forum posts -- Moodle seems to have a minor  
bug when you transfer a forum off the front page
(course id=1) but I figured out a workaround and have the main forums  
installed in the Using WeBWorK course with
correct dates.  The archived dates are still represent the time when  
Arnie transferred the posts from webhost to
the new server, but there are internal dates that are accurate and  
the order of the posts is once again correct.

Take care,

Mike
