Forum Time

Post by Lt. Staplic »

question, does anyone else have a discrepency between the time the forum says and the real time?

I live in Iowa, which is in CST, however when I use the UTC-6 Central Standard Time setting for my time, the forum says it's an hour earlier than it is for me (i.e. if it's 1PM on here it says it is currently 12PM) I switched over to the UTC-5 Eastern Standard time to correct this, but I thought I should see if if was just me or if anyone else has noticed that as well.

No, I have it on Eastern Standard Time, and it shows the right time for me.

Do you have day light savings? I have to change the time when that happens here.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'm on the East Coast, and I have the board set to GMT -5. It seems to be working fine for me.

I believe my Hawaii Standard Time is correct now. It USED to be an hour off. It may relate to Daylight Savings.

Yes, I had to adjust the time manually for Daylight Savings
