Hi,

I just tried changing my user 2's username to Groovybluedog so that I can use it as my main account without using the super admin (I know I can change the ID but I like numerical orders Toungue) however even though I have never had a username on here named groovybluedog that I can remember - and no other accounts are named groovybluedog - MyBB gives me this error "You cannot return in the past!" when I try to save a user with said username.

I'm confused at why I am getting this message.

Thanks!

This happens when the value set it Return Date (Away Information) is set past the present date - you can set it to blank and try again.

Ahhh I restored a backup just before this, so that was probably what caused it.

Surely restoring a backup would keep the same times though?
