Okay, well the normal answer to this question is: you have to set your time zone in your profile. Mine is GMT - 6. But just to make sure, I just checked my profile and it's set correctly. I also posted a test post in another thread just to make sure I wasn't crazy.

So here's my question, with a little background. Ever since the "spring forward" time change, my browser has always showed the time here to be an hour off (behind I think?). I just ignored it because it wasn't a big deal, and I figured it would revert when the time changed again anyway. But for the last couple of months, for some unknown reason, it's been 12 hours behind. When I posted my test post, it was Friday sept 19 11:00 am where I am, but when it showed up on the thread, it said Thursday sept 18 10:56 pm. This can get quite confusing when I log in to check new messages and then have to log back out before I've read them all, because when I come back the second time, the little orange new message things have gone away, and I have to look for post dates/times.

Anyway, it's not that much of a bother. And Vain, if I'm the only one having this problem then don't you worry yourself about it. I just wondered if anyone else was experiencing this, or happened to know how to fix it.

Oh yeah: Yaarrrr ye scurvy devil machine!! Ye'll be the first ever keel-hauled computer when I get done with ye!

I think there IS at least one other person having a similar problem...but I can't rememebr who it was, just that he or she mentioned it in a thread somewhere...

Arizona doesn't change which screws me up on MST...then again u DO live in Texas!

I'm on GMT, and I have to set the time to GMT+12... Don't fret about it *shrug*

The Arizona thing has reminded me -- I think it might have been Caamora who also has this sort of problem with her time...

Aaarrrgh, I wish I could help ya' matey. But shiver me timbers, ye got a way with the words that can only be on account o' bein' the reincarnation of a man-killin', woman-stealin', baby-smackin', lice-ridden pirate of old!! Ya do me heart proud!!

But why does the time change occasionally?

Hmmm.....You too? I tried setting my time zone 12 hours ahead and that did the trick. But just a couple of days ago it shifted back all by itself....and so when I set my time zone back to where it should be, now everything's right again.

My bwain hurts.

What is GMT, btw?

Greenwich Mean Time (starts at a longitudinal line from the north pole through Greenwich to the South Pole), or Zulu Time. It's kind of the standard... right now I think it's Eastern Standard +4 hours.

GMT - grenwich mean time, basically english time...

your time thing could b that your computer's battery has gone... when u turn ur computer off and ur battery is gone, ur time screws up...

but i'm no expert...

Anyone else notice that today's posts, like all those hacked posts of yore, are dated Wed Dec 31? Kind of threw me for a loop until I noticed the year was different....

Bozo...!~
