Time Stamp Appears Off

Steve, your post above is showing up on my browser as 1:11 AM. It would appear that something is wrong either with the way in which the forum is time stamping posts or something else. BTW... my browser's clock is correct.

From the index page, Steve's post appears latest...
Well, your post has a "2:11" stamp on it.
And yes, I totally second Gustavwiz in his wishes. -

And yet on my screen, my post shows 5:05 PM BUT I posted this post this morning. There is no way the time stamping of our posts is correct.

You last post (7:02 AM) shows here as 3:02AM in the forum listing, so GMT is what the forum seems to be displaying (or UTC or Z, as it's also known). Unfortunately, any posts from previous days have their timestamp changed to a datestamp - and that changeover point also occurs according to the GMT timezone's rendering of the current date.

That is exactly what I am seeing. So, how do I correct it?

This post was sent at 7.10 PM local time here in England, and it's appeared as 6.10 PM, so it does appear indeed to be GMT that the forum is using to timestamp all posts.
We're on British Summer Time at the moment which is one hour ahead of GMT (we use GMT in the winter so my posts will be correct then!)

- Nobody even uses local time now - it's zones.
- If you considered local time still, it's closer to GMT anyway: I decipher "BST" as BullShit 'Time' because it can only measure relative time within the range of its application.
- My previous post showed GMT+2, while according to your testament, your post is shown GMT+1. Kinda peculiar...
Well, I'm not sure: now my post's being shown as GMT+1 too...

We should be able to adjust the time according to our own particular time zones to make the forum more meaningful to us. I'm surprised this has not been made available. I don't know of any other forum where this feature is not easily adjusted to the individual member.
