News from the future

Problem

I have some feeds which aren't very kind with their dates, i.e. they come with a date from the future. This results in news entries like " _title_ [tag] feedname • -1820758 seconds ago ".

Proposal

Don't allow dates after now(), and reset all dates after now() to now().

Isn't that more likely to be a timezone-issue? If not - I agree.

The time zone idea might be worth investigating, as all the feeds that
encounter this issue are currently feeds from Switzerland.
Nevertheless, if an article in a feed is from the future after converting
it to local time, it's time values should be corrected to now().

Can you give me a your feed url with entries in the future? There is still a check in ContentLoader which checks whether a date is in the future and sets it to now.

For example this one:
http://www1.orange.ch/de/residential/tv-cinema/events/feed/

With this one the
updated field is indeed from the future

Oh yes... embarrassing. I was checking the date and was setting it to the current date but was using the original date from the feed ;) I fixed the bug.
