Forum "time"
« on: August 11, 2009, 01:15:28 pm »
Ok, is it just me, or has the time changed on the forum to West Coast time?  Until a couple of weeks ago, responses used to show up on my system with EST...at least I thought they did.  Do I need to change something from my end or ?  Anyone know what I'm talking about ???

keen eye, m'dear!  :-*  I noticed it too and a slight "hiccup" on my log on as well. I believe the new site server folks are based out west, hench, the PST vs. the EST. i know, I know... we've been FAR too spoiled on the "good" coast.. guess we have to let the "bad  coast" have their share as well....  :)

You can change the posting time stamp to match your local time.

Go to your profile page pull up 'Look and layout Preferences'

At the top, there is a box labeled 'Time Offset'

Just add or subtract the number of hours you need to equate your local time with the time you see on current posts.  I added '3'. 

All posts will bear a time stamp that shows your local time. 

This works for me.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I noticed the time difference after the site server changed so I did some exploring and found the time offset place.  However, it took a couple of times changing it and then it did not seem to be reflected at the top of the page so I quit looking at it.  Now I see it is correct so all is well!   ;D  Oh, the wonders of modern technology!!

I thought it was about time they got it right. :)

When they first switched, it would show the times an extra 3 hours earlier for me, since I was already set at -3. I had to remove that.
