    Is the forum's clock off for anyone else? I have it set for US eastern (GMT -5), but the clock and subscription replies are really off. Case in point, it is currently 4:50pm, but the forum thinks it is 10:16pm.

    The clock has never actually worked for me. I set it to Eastern Standard Time and it's always off by a few hours.

    Yep, its been gradually getting worse for a long time now! really gets annoying, although its good that posts are marked by how many hours ago, rather than time.

    Still an hour out for me.

    "All times are GMT. The time now is 01:11 AM."

    I make it 00:12AM GMT

    It depends which timezone the server is in and which timezone the forum is set to, I had a similar problem with my site not long ago. Sometimes you have to set it to an innacurate timezone just to level out the time. Maybe the hosting company moved the sites install to a new server somewhere on the quiet.

    Heh. Not quite fixed...at least not unless I've suddenly gained psychic powers and the ability to reply to posts (and quote them word for word!) before they've even been made. ;)

    See this thread for details:

    Big problem though, now posts that were made previously in the "future" are being added in as last, so give it a few hours and it should straighten out lol.

    I don't think it is. I just made a reply to a post yet it appeared before the post I applied to :nod:
