NO
The date supplied gives the date, after which the mod becomes active.

NO!

Listen to Irish1958. Changing the dates would make them only become active on the date listed, which would best be done using the 'Date' folder instead. Having all the same date in the 'Random' folder means that it is truly random; the program looks at that date and just chooses one.

As far as nothing happening: look inside the 'Random' folder. There should be 100 folders there, numbered 0-99. If there are not, then something is wrong.
