  Only just noticed some sub forums show the last post in 1970? Is this a new issue or an old one I’ve just not noticed?

  That is the start of computer 'epoch time' and 1 Jan 1970 is "day zero" as far as computers are concerned.
  
  It is technically BH (Before Hugh), whose 'day zero' was later in the year.

  Nearly right!! It was the start of the clock for Unix computers.
  
  I was working on prehistoric computers in the 1960's including for Concorde!
