  Hi,

  I want to create a few posts dated by some dates several years ago. I specify the date from the past in the Edit Post page -> Publish section -> Published On control. However, it seems that it works only partially. In some places there is the date from the past, but in other places I see the present date, i.e. the date of actual publishing. Namely:

  – The generated URL shows the correct date in the past
  – The Archive panel shows the correct months and years in the past

  but:

  – The displayed dates of all posts are present dates.
  – When I click on an archive, I see “Archive for October, 2009”, i.e. the present date
  – The Edit Post page -> Publish section -> Published On control displays the current date, although when I click Edit, I see the correct date in the past.

  Is this a bug? Is there a change it can be fixed any soon?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Just thought it’s worth mentioning that the date is rather distant past, around 1919-1930

  Dont most systems work on a hundred year calendar, reseting in 1980/2080?
  Not sure, but I had a similar problem on my phone, and tech support said that was the reason…
