Summary	4908: Content add date ranges are too limited
Description	Content add dates have to be +/- 20 years. Technically this is fine, as Composr is not even 20 years old so even the oldest content from ocPortal v1 would still be editable without the date having to be altered. However, it's a time bomb in place, also a time bomb for the 2038 problem, it prevents people using the add date field for creative purposes, and it's unnecessary. Allow the full range of dates the platform allows.

admin 2022-08-24 02:21 administrator ~7488	Fixed in git commit e72da09743 (https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr/commit/e72da09743 - link will become active once code pushed to GitLab) A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. If there are files in a hot-fix that you don't have then they probably relate to addons that you don't have installed and should be skipped. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/). hotfix-4908, 2022-08-24 2am.tar (25,600 bytes)
