I've read the issues list, and although I'm installing on *nix, I want to use some dates outside of Unix epoch for "history posts". If I make this change, I think I want to change two or more of the db tables. The two candidates that jumped out were "node" and "entry", but I'm new to drupal's terminology - any suggestions as to whether I should just change all the time columns to double and ensure that I convert all log times, current times, etc., to doubles via the adodb_* toolset? Or should I be using mysql's datetime?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I changed the "created" column in the node table to "datetime" data type and made a few hacks to the node.module file. That was the easy part - the harder part was hacking in the themes - not the most intuitive place I'd expect to find this stuff. However, I think I've got a solution I can live with - the "created" is the original date, and the "changed" column reflects the last edit.

In case if anyone cares ...
