Hmm...this is a problem indeed. I've found that checking the 'Remember Me' checkbox fixes the problem, at least on my side.

What's wrong with the getTime() method of the Date class which returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1970 as long? To get the seconds, just divide by 1000.

You can't. The best you can do is perform a copy-on-write if the content to be written is more than the initial capacity with which the array was...

Better yet; data[i][k + 1] = Boolean.FALSE. Same result, no unnecessary object creation.

Just report that post using the "Flag Bad Post" option and it should get appropriately handled.
