Am I the only one who see's the last post date in the Graphics section as Wed Dec 31, 1969 8:00 pm?

It probably got a corrupted date. A unix timestamps counts the seconds (or milliseconds) since The Epoch of Jan 1 1970. The -4h is probably from the timezone calculation.

Now that I think of it. The last post was probably deleted, or the user who made the post (as no one uses that board). So it's probably a bug with the software.
