Default Technical problem: Time

I haven't fiddled with my settings or options, but today I notice that the time stamps showing on the board are all wrong for me. I'm set to GMT -6, but the board SAYS it's showing me GMT -5, and it's actually showing me what I think is GMT.

Does anybody else see anything funny?

Yes. Times are appearing as GMT for me as well.

I was just diddling with the same problem, and then realized you were all there ahead of me.

Alex,

I've just posted on the 'Light Verse' thread and travelled back in time by two posts!
I tried to edit it but then ended up with two deleted posts - so I just gave up and left it where it insisted on landing

Jayne

AND THIS ONE HAS JUMPED BACK FOUR SPACES!

Default Test after resetting to GMT

Hi Alex,

This is a test post to see if it jumps backwards in time, like my last one did.

Jayne

Yes, this one has done the same thing.

And for my next trick, I predict that today at 6:23pm (GMT -5) Catherine Chandler will take the position that time is an invented construct and that it doesn't actually meter... er, matter.

Cathy, if it had been just me, then it would matter to me because I'd wonder how I'd messed it up.

Since it appears to be a global problem, what matters is that it might reflect something larger--something that's Alex's problem. Are all the timestamps and logs off throughout the board software now?
