    this is a real stumper for me. on one of the boards i am a member of i go to log in and check a topic i made. but before that even happens i am hit with a message saying that my account has been suspended. but i hadnt done anything wrong. not only that but an erroneous expiration date was given. how erroneous? try May 15, 1962 at 10:52 AM. the board in question is bethesda softworks(makers of the elder scrolls series).

    do you guys think this is weird? :eek:

    i cant even log out either!

    what about your clock in the BIOS?
    Otherwise, have you cleared out all/any cookies and temp files?
    did you try accessing from another account on the same PC?

    I think you need to discuss this problem with the board administrators. Something sounds amiss on their side now.
