Interpreting vBulletin dateline value?

Can you tell the actual date something was posted on a vBulletin board by the dateline value (e.g., 1090497600)? How are those numbers interpreted?

TIA!

You can tell easily by the post. It should say "Today, 6:05AM" or it'll give you an exact date if it's more than two days old.

The time is relative to your time zone selected in your UserCP. As far as a UTC type or anything, I don't know if that's visible to the user, I'm sure it's stored in the database itself.

I was looking for a way to interpret the vBulletin 10-digit dateline number, for example:
dateline=1102117573

Thanks!

vBulletin's method is the unix time stamp.

Try these sites to convert:
http://www.unixtimestamp.com/index.php
http://www.4webhelp.net/us/timestamp...573&timezone=0
http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm
