Hey, Steve, did you ever figure out what was wrong with the board time?  It's an hour ahead of Eastern Time. :-\

What's the time offset field in your profile set to?

Make sure your time offset in your User CP is set to -2.

EDIT: Wait, you said that's what you have it set to... hmm, weird. I have it set to -2 and the time is correct here. :huh:

Dan, are you sure your computer clock is set correctly? You seem to be having time issues everywhere, but no one else is. And, yes, your clock can lose the time. Things like a dying BIOS battery on the motherboard can cause that to happen.

No,, i have the same problem. Someone changed the board's time zone, because when it first started out, i had it set at -1. then just this past week, i had to set it to -2. So the problem is with the board. someone changed something.

I didn't change anything about the time zone. :unsure: And yeah, I had to set mine to -2 this past week as well.

Well, I didn't change the time settings either, so likeI said yesterday, I guess we have ghosts.

Yeah, I set my clock back to Central Time last night.  The computer clock says 1:26...the board time says 3:26 PM.

Try clicking the auto detect link next to the box where you enter your offset. See if that works.

Well, it auto detected it to -2.  Yesterday it had me at -1.

This isn't a problem at my end anymore.  The board time is ahead one hour. ;)  TWCC and Taiganet works as normal.

No, no, what I'm saying is my time is correct with -2 as well.  I've been saying that all along.  It indeed is your board, since it says the current universal board time (not my time, the board time) right now is 4:52, which obviously isn't right if you're in the Eastern Time Zone, Gary.  Gil's been saying this all along.  Why would it be -2 in your time zone anyway?  Shouldn't it be -1 there?

Forget it, it's a dead issue now.  Everyone's time works :)  If you get on AIM, Gary, I'll tell you there.
