I’m using the notes application for the first time & when using preview I see that the date is waay off - like the year 1969! I logged out & checked the time/date setting on my computer (running Vista) & it shows the correct date. I logged back into Facebook & previewed my notes again & the date is still incorrect. Any ideas? ---

I just previewed a throwaway note to see if it did that for me, too. It did. “… by [Insert Name] on Wednesday, December 31, 1969 at 5:00pm.” But when I actually posted it it showed the correct time and date so don’t worry. ---
