Moderators might want to know.

I couldn't think of a better place to post this, so general works right?

Ok, GMT -6:00 is Central US. Correct?

It's 10:38pm and at the bottom of the forum it's reading:

All times are GMT -6 hours. The time now is 01:02 AM.

I've noticed this error with other boards using this same board format. Whoever can fix this needs to be told, it's confusing to say the least.

Yeah, the forum's time have been messed up for a little while now.

Raelyn · #3 09-27-2003, 07:12 AM

The GUA forums use the same forum-type, and I noticed thiers was wrong as well. Hah, that's really confusing when you need to know what time a post was made.

The 'forum type' is vBulletin.
Moderators dont need to know, Admins do.
You do know, there is a default time zone the admin sets for the forums and then if you want you can change it from your profile settings.

I don't think moderators have any power to control this. I doubt Stefan, unixmad, or Thym will go into the root source code to change this error for 1 person's picky benefit.

Lance · #6 09-27-2003, 08:48 AM

This has been discussed before - I personally have brought it up a few times, but the answer I've gotten is that it's the actual server computer itself has the time incorrectly set.

I'm sorry, I said the moderator might want to know, not that they themselves could do anything about it. I apologize if it has been brought up before, in that case I suppose they already do. I didn't mean to seem "picky", and it would probably help more people than just one as I am sure I am not the only graal player in the central US time zone. I should have never wondered what time my PM's were replied to etc.

Please, remove these from my post count. I beg you.

*grins*

Your going to get along here just find if you have that frame of mind

*blinks* You edited your post as I was clicking reply, you turned your smiley into a frown, that's not good. Now I am a bit confused.

I was going to say:

I normally don't like fitting in, but if sarcastic comments and forum debate would make me fit in, I don't have much of a choice do I?

Ignore Donald, he's the ultimate pessimist.

Raelyn · #11 09-27-2003, 02:08 PM

I don't want to ignore anyone, but I will consider not taking everything he says seriously, how does that sound? *blinks*

Heh, I might have to make a habit out of the graal forum, (Which until now I've never felt nessesary to log in to.) though, I don't know if I can handle such a violent assault on all of my replies/threads. *blinks*

Fix the 0 views bug again, then upgrade the boards, then fix the clock.
It's not that hard to compensate for a few hours difference. So what if what you selected isn't your actual timezone? It displays the time right for you, so what's the problem?

As far as I can tell, the clock's inaccuracy is actually the cause of a number of problems, including the zero views thing.

The clock was still inaccurate when the 0 views bug wasn't here.

Yes, but it was inaccurate by a number of hours (almost exactly). When the minutes are displaced by a certain amount, the zero views bug returns. Why else do you think it has periodically fixed and broken itself?

I never thought of it like that. I always figured my computer clock was wrong.
