Forum Clock Help

Indie Boy · Tue 10/07/2007 21:34:43

Just a quick kind of question, I hope this is in the right place to post.

Its just a little thing that is annoying me at the moment is that time on the forum is about 8 minutes ahead from my local time. I have tried to changed this but you can only edit the time by hours, so I worked out that it would need to be -0.75 hours(I think thats right). Anyway I tried this and it just read it as 0 hours, meaning no change in time.

I'm just wondering if I something not set right or if anyone else has been having the same problem.

Wow, I never really noticed there's a clock on the forum. Maybe it's because I mostly rely on the Windows desktop clock.
It's the same with me, about 8 minutes ahead.

It's also fast by about that for me, but since I have a clock right next to my monitor it's not a big deal. (Of course, if there was someway to fix it, I would. It did kind of bug me for a while.) I think the offset is to adjust for timezones, which is why it only works in hours.

I'm not saying I rely on the forum clock, but I just though it was odd and it might effect other people on the forum because of competition deadlines etc.

Sorry for digging up my old thread again, but I've noticed the same problem again.

Where?

[edit]
Oh yeah... 6 minutes.

PS... Indy, how come you've changed your account since then?

Trent R · Mon 01/12/2008 03:04:00

Mine is 7 minutes and 30 secs ahead, not that I care.

Time moves in mysterious ways... maybe.

IndieBoy · Mon 01/12/2008 15:54:32

It bothers me...

Also Stupot the real reason was that I wanted to make games now and didn't want my old nickname appear on the database

My forum clock is about 8 minutes behind my system clock for some reason. I must live in the future!

IndieBoy · Mon 01/12/2008 16:01:45

Of course you do. It gets dark quicker over there

Now it is 11mins behind now

Maybe we're going to go back to the early nineties?

I do hope somebody fixes this soon because now I'm not going to be able to sleep until this is resolved!!

The time that the forum clock displays is most likely based on the system time of the server this forum is hosted on.
To get the time adjusted, you'd need to contact someone who has administrative privileges on the server.

By the way, it's not a good sign if the clock is off by this much in a relatively small period of time (1.5 years, muha!) . Maybe the internal battery of the server needs replacing.

We changed servers less than 1.5 years ago. And the problem will probably be fixed whenever CJ reads this thead.

the clock is only 1 min behind now. But my windows clock might be 1 min early

Domino · Tue 02/12/2008 00:09:33

My time is correct now. It was off by 10 minutes earlier today. yay!!
