+10h bug on the hi5 “friend requests” page

While checking who’s checking me out today, on the notorious hi5 website, I noticed one weird bug (I’m not saying that the site is bug-free otherwise, but this one is “try-it-yourself” fun): the friend request’s dates are incremented by 10 hours and.. one minute – at each subsequent refresh of the page (see for yourself: login to hi5 and click here friend requests page).

Here’s a screenshot I made (after already refreshing several times – note the date of the request, it’s already 10 days ahead):

hi5 +10 bug - first refresh

Followed by another, one refresh later:

Funny thing is that the changes persist even after a logout / login. You can now use it to predict the future !

I have reported the bug, let’s hope for a quick fix.

UPDATE: After a while, I logged back in to find all dates correctly displayed (I said to myself – wow, quick reaction time), except for one miss:

Wrong requests number displayed

All subsequent refreshes produced the same result (+10h).
