    He's joking.

    You know the Y2K bug caused time problems (or was supposed to) on the new year 2000. He's having a problem with time here on the New Year, so he wittily remarked that it might be Y2K3 bug, since this was New Years 03/04.

    I think it should have been the Y2K4 Bug. More apt.

    To confuse lesser beings, who worry about the time being displayed by free forum software.

    Jarinor got it right.
    But the problem was it displayed the stuff from that date, not the new posts. Anyway, it's gone now, so no worries.

    Grrr.. SITE FEEDBACK DAMNIT!!

    *Thread Moved*

    You didn't change the time settings in your profile at all? Or visit from a different computer where the cookie wasn't set?

    Could also have been a server-side time reset. It's been known to happen.
