Could be a bug but the more likely explanation is that the field doesn’t update until you try to leave it. So you put in a wrong date first, try to leave the field, get error message, then type in valid date and save a pic before leaving the field.
…along with calendar weeks being entire weeks, not bullshit like 5 days of CW 53 and 2 of CW 1. This matters when dealing with BI facts that continue through NYE.
Do you know how infuriating it is to view analytics by calendar week with two major dips around new year’s because the week is split in two?
Bonus points: “Sure, you can set the week aggregation to consider weeks starting with Monday, but if you filter for the last X calendar weeks, you’ll have the last week’s sunday omitted from the stats and an orphaned Sunday before the first week yoh actually wanted.”
Support international standards, you bloody imbeciles.
Do we have a community yet for IAm14AndThisIsFunny?
Maybe it’s for something 18 and up? Like a banking app
Remind is a communication platform that reaches students and families where they are and supports learning wherever it happens.
I’m going to guess they typed 02/17/2008 the first time to denote Feb 17th as is fairly standard with American apps. It then told him it was invalid because there arent 17 months in a year because it was the wrong format. They typed it correctly after and took a screen shot before pressing submit. (Making it so the error was still on screen from the previous bad submission. )
That is all just a guess though.
13 and up due to COPPA if this is a US based website.

Another possible case no one seems to have mentioned. That the CSS doesn’t do that kind of spacing automatically, and that the user manually put in spaces this creating an invalid date for the lulz.
Still software gore. Spacing should not matter, proper parsing should ignore whitespace in a simple format like this.
Even better, the appropriate spacing/symbols should be automatically added so the user doesn’t have to worry if the form is going to parse whitespace.
