hey guys,

it's 10:40 here, but the forums tell me it's 9:40 with dst-correction and 8:40 without dst-correction... but i selected the right time zone... not a big problem but somewhat irritating... any suggestions? if not i'll just select a time zone that fits

Yeah I'm aware of the time issue.

This is because the time on the server is set wrong. And if we change the server time, threads, which are listed according to the time of the posting, suddenly become out of order.

This happened before, so I"m alittle weary about touching it agian. So just ignore the time

sorry.

works for me

I figure if the time is at least the same as my local time who cares if I have to set it to GMT -4 for it to work (I'm actually in GMT -5

)

Thank the U.S. government for all these DST problems. It may get worse for some people come this Sunday. That's when DST is supposed to actually kick in. It got moved up three weeks with the thinking that workers here in the U.S. could be more productive. Problem is, there are a lot of computerized equipment that can't be upgraded with the new DST dates. Like at work, I've got at least a half-dozen time-clocks that are hard-wired to only recognize the original dates for DST time changes. Until we ever replace those time-clocks, I'll have to now manually adjust those clocks four times a year to keep them on the right time!
