I don’t know what caused this for you.

But I do recognize “January 1 1970” as a common Unix time problem.

Unix time is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1 1970

i.e. a timestamp value of zero is January 1 1970

Did you change ownership of any posts or change timestamp the topic?
