I think mine are all screwed up. I noticed my posts this morning were wrong. I fiddled around with the time, until I finally got it to display properly, but I had to set it to Hawaii time?

I hope this isn't a sympton of a hack? The times were screwed up last time as well.

Aside from the time zone settings being off by +5 hours the server's own time is off by at least 7 minutes (UTC/GMT was showing 0431 at the same time that the forum was showing the minute count at xx24).

I'm on Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8 hours) and I had to set it to GMT +11 hours to get the time right. It's still off by around around two minutes though.

Ha, that's funny. I'm actually on GMT +11, i guess i'll try GMT -8 and see if that works for me.

Just sent a pm to YarisBueller.

Hey YB,

Just a question. I have my time setting on GMT +11 which is what the correct time setting is for Melbourne, Australia, where i live.

But the time on the posts are wrong. It says the time now is 12:25am when in fact where i am it is 7:25pm. It appears that the server or whatever controls the forums time is out by 19 hours.

Can you please correct the forum time to the correct time.

Thank you

Hopefully he will correct the issue.

YB has fixed the time so it's right. YAY! But i tried to pm him back to tell him thanks and i got this message.....

This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between sending private messages. Please try again in 2825 seconds

So i'll post it here and hope he gets it. Thanks YarisBueller.
