Frontendusers: "Default user expiry period"?

[faglork]

Hi!

1) In FEU - Settings - Preferences there is the option:
"Default user expiry period:"

I have set it to 520 months, since there is no way to disable it altogether (we don't need that for this site).

However, when I add a new user, the default expiry period is "2014" - shouldn't that be "2057" which is 2014+520 months?

2) When adding a user, it is not possible to manually set the expiry date to maximum - this results in an error message, sth. like "Wrong or missing Parameter". I have to stay about 4 years below the maximum, then I can add the user ...

Anyone who uses FEU: Does all that work for you? Or do you have the same problems?

Cheers,
Alex

Looks like a bug to me. Do you use the latest versions?

I think it is a bug that has been around for a while because I remember other posts about it.

I did. Result:

Resolution: Won't Fix

No comment as to why it won't be fixed.

Check if the server is using a 32 bit or a 64 bit operating system (kernel). 32 bit machines won't know past the year 2038 which is a PHP thing.

Even with shorter values it won't work ...

But thanks for the hint - I knew about this but never realized how close we actually are.
