datebox cannot be set before December 31, 1969

This is not a problem with the box, but with the storing of the data. When a date is set to some day before 12/31/1969 and saved, then the date is saved as 12/31/1969.

This is very likely an epoch problem:

Dates before Dec 31, 1969 are being stored as "-1" in wp_bp_xprofile_data

Field needs to be changed to MySQL datetime.

I managed to save a date fine in the 1940's. Can you confirm this is still a problem? It is stored as a negative unix timestamp in the database. The field type is varchar as all field values are stored in the date column.
