Looks to me like the posts are ahead by 7+ hours.

[ and yeah, I gave up trying to edit my system rigs a few days ago ]

When you click on Profile, what is Time Zone set to?


For my part, when I click on someone's avatar and check their profile to see when they last logged in, I noticed the time shown is in their time zone.

When I check my Time Zone setting in my profile it's correctly set to Pacific Time. I think it should always convert to your time zone, whatever's going on. It's the time where you are at all times that matters.

My notification of your post says you posted 3 hours in advance of my current time (i.e. 11:11 AM). However, my email client says it was posted at 4:11 PM! Something's screwed up. My computer clock was at 8:11 AM.

Huh, I'm Central Time and I posted at 10:11am my time. Could it be that the AnandTech SMTP is stamping Eastern Time, perhaps? Not sure why your client would say a way different time though.

Problem seems to be on my end and I can't guess what's up. In the bottom right corner of my XP Pro box it says 9:14 AM (correct). I just subscribed to some threads at Rottentomatoes forums and those posts are showing late afternoon posttimes as well. :confused:

Here at Anandtech Forums in the thread it says you posted at 8:26 AM. In my inbox of Forte Agent email client on my machine it says it was posted at 4:26 PM!

I think my email is still set ahead 8 (?) hours in my email client. No idea why. I'm using Forte Agent and I'm going to post in their newsgroup.

Edit: This post showed up with time posted correct in this thread...
