For my admin user account, the "Member Since" says, 36 years, 12 weeks. For other users it works fine. This isn't such a big deal, but I wonder if this error could cause some other more serious problem down the road. And it is also irritating and I'd like to fix it if I can.
Thanks,

That long ago
That amount of time ago just happens to coincide with unix time 0, or 1970-01-01. Are you sure that the time of registration in the database is correct?
The date itself is to my knowledge not used for anything important, but purely there for the users. I doubt that it will cause any problems later on.
If you still remember the date on which you made your admin account, you can just enter that into an unix-date calculator and get an approximation of the correct time to put in the user table.

Found Cell To Change in phpMyAdmin but...
Thanks BlackSash,
I found what I thought was the right cell in the users table in phpMyAdmin, and I found a UNIX converter calculator and got the right number, but phpMyAdmin refuses to accept the number in the cell. It just stays at zero. And it doesn't spew an error message either.
hmmm.

Did you use an automatic installation?
Did you use an automatic installation from your host provider to install your drupal installation? I had that happen when I did that for a client. When I reinstalled manually myself (which only takes about 2 minutes longer) the error didn't happen.

Yes, Used Fantastico Install
provided by web host, but I don't want to reinstall now, maybe when I upgrade to 4.7. Doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

Fantastico was the install
Fantastico was the install on that host too. Maybe it is the same host. So I would say that is definately the source of the issue.

Yes I have the same problem with my admin account.
I also installed my drupal site using Fantastico on a monsterhosting.ca server, so looks like that is the cause.
However, I also have other problems with my admin user account (user/1). For example the page user/1/contact does not exist. The contact form works fine for all other users.
Other people have had this issue. See: 'Contact form access denied' (http://drupal.org/node/54633)
Anybody know if this could also be caused by the automatic installation by Fantastico and if so how to overcome it? I'd rather not do a manual install. Is there a way to set up a new admin user account and then delete user/1?
thanks
