Forum clock says

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:21 PM.

while my watch and computer clock read one hour earlier. DST is set to auto-detect.

Not a huge issue, but it is disconcerting to think it's an hour later than it really is.

Known issue. Larry is aware (at least if he reads his mail he is) but I doubt he's too worried about it while at SEMA :)

It's not just you though. Happens in Central Time as well.

I just talked to Larry about this on the phone. It should hopefully be resolved by tonight. I agree it is a bit of an annoyance.

Testing, it's about 7:00 p.m. my time. What time does it show I posted this?

Here we go again. I offset the server time 1 hour. Did it work? It's about 10:15 my time

I say screw the time setting. Just make it so it says "Posted, like, a minute ago or something...."

It's 9:21a here in CST.

According to the bottom of the page,

"All times are GMT -6. The time now is 10:12 AM."

o.k. It's about 9:50 a.m. Pacific time. Did I get it?

Yes!!!! All should be good now. If your time is not showing correctly check the time zone you have set in your control panel.

The server clock was off by 1 hour and 8 minutes.

Looks pretty close. 12:51 pm EST by the time I could bring up your post (I was in my e-mail and caught the notification coming in).

Thanks for your time & trouble (is there by chance a pun in there?). :cheers:

Looks correct to me - the computer clock and the board would appear to agree that it's 6:55am.

Looks to be broken again (from the server move?) - the local time is 6:41a but the text at the bottom says "All times are GMT -6. The time now is 04:53 AM."

Haven't tweaked my TZ settings since it was working so I don't think it's them.
