How the product handles dates:

- "Full Sized" view of photo album photos, as the date posted
- "Last reply" to a message board posting
- "Sent" field of a message board message
- "Member Since" field of the membership list
- "You Joined" field of the "My Profile" page
- MSN Web communities stores years in 4-digit year format.
- MSN Web communities does not ask users to input any date values, rather dates are generated by the system at the time of posting an item, or joining a community.
- Dates are displayed in US English date formats.
- Times are reported in Pacific Standard Time.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
Two-digit year shortcuts are displayed in the "Full Sized" view of photos, "Last Reply" and "Sent" fields within a community.
They are displayed as MM/DD/YY HH: MM. The times are Pacific Standard Time.
Conversion to 4-digits year dates is based on the following.
Two-digit year shortcuts from 80-99 insert a "19" in front for the 4-digit year value.
Shortcuts from 00-34 insert in front of the shortcut "20" to the shortcut for the 4-digit year value.
Calculation of the shortcut is based on taking the stored 4-digit year value and removing the first two digits before display.
Validation guidelines and recommendations:
There are no client-side tests that can be run other than to validate that there is no dependency on client systemÆs time to the service.
