Dropbox post dates photos to 30 Dec 2099

I noticed a few days ago that a batch of photos from an event I attended in 2008 was post dated to 30 Dec 2099. Can someone explain to me what happened and how I can fix this?

Not sure how to attach as I can't see the options bar with all the icons. To answer your question though, this "oddity" appears only on my iPhone

Actually, I take it back. After I sent you my reply, I re-opened Dropbox via the web and noticed the same 30 Dec 2099 dated photos.

    Thanks for checking! Are you seeing the small camera icon, if you try replying via a computer directly? The option may not always appear on a mobile device.

        I have replied with a screen shot from both my laptop and iPhone. Notice that I erased the images and kept the dates.
