GimmeClassics Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 In my general account settings my Timezone is GMT + 1 (I live in the Netherlands)I noticed since a day or two the time which is shown when I post a reply is GMT - 3 ? Is this a forum change. Is there now one general Time Zone ?Just curious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 LOL i was literally just going to make the same query! It says for me you posted that at 4:05am - well it was actually 9:05am so mine is showing -5 hours incredibly confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 You *should* be able to set your time zone in your profile settings I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I wonder if there may be a change with the time location of the actual server. I will make note of this to Tom as it may have other reprecussions. EDIT: My actual time for this post is 08:59 EST so a -4 hour difference. Set to GMT -5 hours which is correct.

tthurman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It is 9:03 A.M. EDT tIme here currently, and mine is set to -5 in my profile. Seems it is showing GMT correctly, at least for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzleHP Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 My post above says (to me) i posted it at 4:26am:I didn't wake up till 7:45am lol it was posted @9:26am my time, and i can assure you it is set at GMT, which is my local time:So it is -5 for me which clearly is wrong. As GC said it started happening a few days ago but couldn't tell you exactly which day. Also you can see in the settings screenshot it says current time is 10:15am, and it was actually 15:15 when i took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 It's actually been wonky for a long time. I just ignored it. I mean, most posts are coming up saying they're were made at like 4-5 in the morning, which I know is probably not true. I just chalked it up to everybody being in different time zones from mine (ie; if it's 9am here, it's really 3 am YOUR time, etc). So I just figured that was accurate. But since it's been brought up, add my name to the list of people who noticed.EDIT: I posted this as 10:53 (according to my computer clock) but it says it's 6:56am on the server.EDIT 2: I've noticed also that my computer's internal clock seems to be loosing about a minute every 3-4 weeks. Anybody have any idea what could be causing that? I have the Windows Time set to automatically update, but it doesn't unless I manually go in there and do it myself.

tthurman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 This is what I see..Capture.PNGMy post didn't make sense,"Seems it is showing GMT correctly, at least for me!" , and not EDTI thought it simply displayed GMT here all the time, on purpose given we are all from so many different areas. I thought this was to make things less confusing, overall anyway.You'll have to forgive me, I've been jacked up on steroids for the last several days, and have about 2 hours of sleep combined over the last two nights.

Anybody have any idea what could be causing that? I have the Windows Time set to automatically update, but it doesn't unless I manually go in there and do it myself.CMOS battery can cause this but, if only a minute or two then I wouldn't sweat it. PC "real time" clocks are notorious for being off. Verify you have the time server to synch your clock pointing to a valid internet time server, If set to time.microsoft.com, maybe change it to time.nist.gov instead to see if that makes a difference. You could also set up a scheduled task to do it once a day. Check this site out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I recall using Atomic Clock in Windows 98, I believe this is the modern version of it.Atomic Clock SyncIt worked well for me back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
