Hello everybody!

I believe I have patch GoldED's date issue with SynchronetBBS. I'm looking for a few good souls to give it a try. I works on my Windows 11/64 Pro system. It displays the correct date and time (UTC time). I have a win32 and x64 version in the ZIP file. Let me know if it works for you. Just drop the version you want into your GoldED directory and run it.

Of more interest to me (and potential value to everyone), would be the source code. Do you have a fork or a PR up on github?

I have nothing on githib. I would want to know that others see that it's correct now and let me know. If not then it's pointless to put anything out.

I have nothing on githib. I would want to know that others see that it's correct now and let me know. If not then it's pointless to put anything out.

The point would be that I (and other programmers) could look at the code and tell if you if it's correct or not. I wouldn't need to run some randomly-generated/provided .exe file. That's the point.

Golded is open source. Most people would like to see a patch or the actual code, and can most likely (/especially/ DM) let you know if it's a good "fix" or not.

The year is 2026 and we're still having to explain that running random executable files from the internet is, even if well vouched for, still risky.

you CANNOT release modified versions of GOLDED without providing the source code to rebuild said modified version. that's it, the end.
