Hi,
I was getting the CDate error as described in the documentation when I uploaded my forum to my webspace. I followed instructions for setting the LCID in the common.asp file, which didn't solve the problem, and neither has the creation of a global.asa file. I have been deleting cookies on each attempt, but still to no avail.
The forum's address is http://www.adriangreenwood.co.uk/ahchrist/forum - www.adriangreenwood.co.uk/ahchrist/forum if that's of any use to you. I'm using the latest release of the forum. Any ideas what could still be wrong? Thanks |

it may be that you installed a different language os on your pc. I have US windows 2003 server and use lcid 1043 although I'm located in the netherlands. |

| i do have a different time setting on my PC, which could cause the problem. but i have set the LCID to various settings to try and fix the problem and it hasn't worked. I'm going to try overwriting the database with the blank one that came with it to see if that fixes it. |

| Each time you change your lcid code you have to clear your cookies. |

On install got the same problem in UK host in Germany (+1 hours) 2003 shared server. Did all the Locale stuff and problem persisted perhaps host hasn't got locale installed, anyway ... Tracked the cookie and noted that the LTVST was being recorded with a , not . I thought this was probably due to a server/database/locale setup, but just wanted to find a solution so checked recording a straight numeric date in the form 12345.123456789 in the cookie and found the . replaced by a comma when read straight out quite bizarre and probably not a locale issue. This might not be complete fix as I haven't finished testing and it's not elegant but replaced in the following files common.asp, default.asp, active_topics.asp some code as follows. Replace isNumeric(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST")) with isNumeric(Left(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST"),5) & "." & Right(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST"),9)) and CDate(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST")) with CDate(Left(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST"),5) & "." & Right(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST"),9)) If those who have the problem with cdate and the cookie issue and find anything else to change or if this solves your problem let us know. |
