Daylight savings time

I've been wondering why I see posts that were written after I read them? It's because the new software Robin is using doesn't automatically compensate for daylight savings time. You have to go into the user control panel, general preferences and manually turn off daylight savings time for your posts to appear correctly. When some people have changed it and others haven't it's possible to see the response to a question posted before the question is asked! Kind of makes things confusing.

Mark, your settings actually govern the way the forum looks to YOU, so once you change your own settings to reflect DST (or not), then all time stamps should appear accurate to you. In other words, the change affects your display of incoming time, not outgoing time. Make sense?

That is how I assumed it worked too. However a couple of times when I replied quite quickly to someone else's post the time on the post's showed that by reply was posted before the question? not sure how that happened.

Poltergeists?

This is actually due to Gravity waves in the space time continuum, and their effect on the Internet's tubes. I'm sure that now that Ted Stevens is unemployed he could probably come down here and fix it for us .. Ted ... can you hear us?

This was addressed in the original Star Trek series and is actually based upon Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Maybe I'm just typing too fast!

Let's see how fast I can type. As I hit the SUBMIT key, my computer clock (which is set daily by contact with USNO) just turned to 7:31 a.m.

Okay, so it looks like our server clock is 1 minute fast. Close enough for folk music ...

Sorry, but they took away my private jet and flight crew

Ted,

Maybe you can hitch a ride with Santa !
