Calling All SMF and/or php Experts!

Could anyone explain to me why a forum running SMF would display the correct current date and time in the top right corner of the page but not the correct current date and time in the "Who's Online" page?  MeshMatters recently stopped displaying the correct current date and time in the "Who's Online" page, that is, in the lines keyed to users who are currently online (not the time in the upper right corner, which displays correctly throughout the forum site).  In fact, the date and time displayed next to my user name are "January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM," and this information never changes.  If I did not have the forum time offset set properly, the correct date and time would not be displayed in the upper right corner; however, as I've mentioned, the correct date and time are displayed in the upper right corner.  Does this sound like a problem with the database server, which may have the incorrect date and time?  In other words, is this a problem that I cannot fix without access to the host's server machine?  Any wisdom would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Have you asked at the official SMF forums?  Chances are that someone has run into that issue there.

If you can't find anything there, let me know.
