Any time today (not date-only) = Wed 31 Dec 69 at 19:00

Firefox 3.0.10 on a Mac OSX (10.4.11). For a while now, if I enter "today 4 p.m." or just "4 p.m." or "5 p.m." or what have you under "date," the task immediately comes up as having been due Wed 31 Dec 69 at 19:00.

Hi Matt,
Do your timezone settings in RTM and on your computer match? A discrepancy there can cause some odd problems with dates and reminders.

Yes, they do. Further experiments finally narrowed the problem down to my instinctive need to put periods in "a.m." and "p.m.", which apparently sends the dating system into a crazed death spiral. "am" and "pm" work fine, however.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for checking that and for providing more information. This has been added to our list to fix.
Sorry I overlooked the punctuation in your initial post; I enter my time in 24-hour mode and hadn't noticed this problem before. That date, 31 Dec 69, will be used when a problem is encountered when parsing the due date (typically, but obviously not only, when timezones are a factor). :)
