Hey all!
I have been issuing monthly challenges to Compute for the Cure for MCM for a couples years now. I logged on today to issue the Jan 2021 challenge and I cannot select any dates. They're all unselectable and have a line through them. What's the deal? |

It's been longer ago, but read that the millenium bug was going to make a reprise. Who knows.

It was a bit of challenge, but I managed to issue a test challenge just by typing in the dates, not in MM/DD/YYYY format as suggested by the text in the challenge form, but in DD/MM/YYYY format. When you type in a date, the page may say 'This value is out of range', but once you leave the field, that text disappears.
Once the challenge was issued, I tried changing the end date from 01/09/2021 into 09/01/2021 (1 September), but then the page said the end date was too far in the future and that the Previous Value for the end date was 2021-09-01, while the Previous Value for the start date was 1/8/2021. One can imagine that this leads to chaos and disorder. It is simply incomprehensible. |

That's a great workaround, but not a fix.
