Post Times???

[airsupport]

Only a minor thing, NOT a complaint, just it seems very odd and I cannot see why it happens? :confused:

Even allowing for IF the Forums assume everyone has played with their clocks (yes CLOCKS) DST, it is still weird.

The times of posts are often completely wrong, this happens a lot lately, for example one of mine says I posted it last night hours after I was safely tucked up in bed, and one from another Member on a different thread says he posted it this morning, but I KNOW it was there yesterday afternoon. :confused:

YES nothing serious, and NO I have nothing better to do ;) just curious.

[airsupport]

This is just weird, unless someone has a simple answer that I am missing? :confused:

The post I mentioned before, if you look ON the thread it says it was posted yesterday at 2057, which would be correct. :ok:

However in the list of topics it said this morning that the last post was (sometime early this morning I didn't write it down), and NOW it says the last post, SAME ONE was at 0904 this morning? :confused:

[Checklist Charlie]

PPRuNe's clock has been out of whack with reality for a couple of years now. I don't know if it's the American owners view of the world or to blame the Froggies for Universal Time Co-ordinated.

You are right airsupport, the clock is out of whack:=

I too noticed the time problem very early this morning.

Quite weird this morning when the forum summary was showing posts for today, whilst the last post in those threads had a date/time of yesterday - almost as if the Forum summary was in one time zone and posts in another time zone.

Very annoying for Mods to check todays posts in threads, only to find they were posted and checked yesterday. :ugh:

The wheel fell off the PPRuNe date/time stamp months and months ago and no one seems able to fix it. Something further has fallen apart in the last 24 hours. :ugh:

I'll go over to the Mod House and see what the big boys have to say....... :(

[airsupport]

Okay thanks. :ok:

I know I am getting old but that was really weird.

Incidentally that post I was talking about now shows 1000 instead of 0904. :ugh:

[tail wheel]

I posted in the Mod's Forum but they will all be in bed on the other side of the World at present. May get some resonse later this evening or in the morning.

Incidentally that post I was talking about now shows 1000 instead of 0904.

Time flies when you're having fun! :}

P.S. You are old! :} Me too - and getting grumpy........ :hmm:

[airsupport]

You leave Grumpy alone. ;)

With these time changes, I thought I was getting Dopey :{, but now I am getting Happy. :ok:

[j3pipercub]

Can I get Snow White?

[SgtBundy]

Sure, here is ticket number 8.

[airsupport]

tail wheel,

There is something very strange going on all right. :confused:

I know it is not your doing by what you said before, but I now wonder if a Mod or Mods are doing it by somehow delaying the posting of replies. :confused:

That topic that was showing the last posting as 0904 then 1000, now has 3 NEWER postings on it, but when you look at them they were actually dated yesterday. :confused:

[tail wheel]

No one is delaying posts. It is not possible (I don't think?). Even if a post from a new user is queued to a Mod for approval and approved some hours later, it is still posted with the original sate/time stamp. Even if posts are not yet approved or even deleted, Mods can still "see" the posts and threads.

I captured one example as snap shots:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Woomera/PPRuNe/Threadtimedate.jpg


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/Woomera/PPRuNe/Posttimedate.jpg

And posted that example in our Mod's Forum - both times refer to the same post. I can't do anything until the experts on the other side of the world get out of bed and have a look under the hood.

[airsupport]

Now YOU are scaring me, either you are psychic OR it was obvious, I did not say what thread, but that IS the exact thread and the exact post I was refering to. ;)

NO worries, just interested to know what is going on when you find out. :ok:

[airsupport]

Seems it is other threads too, I just went to see the latest posting on that D,G+P Jet Blast thread, shows as a NEW posting at 1406 today, when you look at the thread it was posted last night at 1906. :confused:

[tail wheel]

All posts are now showing with the wrong date/time in the Forum Summary.

[airsupport]

It must be those POMEs at PPRuNe Towers, trying to upset us before the start of The Ashes. ;)

[airsupport]

Sorry about that you lovely English Gentlemen. ;)

Just checking again the time differences etc on the threads, IF the problem is anywhere it seems to be with the Yanks. :confused:

[airsupport]

YES, just doing a bit more research, its those *&^%$#@ Yanks. ;)

Current Time in El Segundo is
23:18

Time matches exactly with the time at the new PPRuNe owners HQ. :ok:

[airsupport]

Just curious, did you ever find out what was going on?

[Desert Flower]

You leave Grumpy alone.

Q. Do you wake up Grumpy in the morning?
A. No - I let him sleep! ;)

With these time changes, I thought I was getting Dopey , but now I am getting Happy.

As long as you're not "feeling" Happy....;)

Please do NOT call our Moderator Grumpy. :eek:

Looks like he is still in bed, so he must be ''Sleepy''....... ;) :ok:

[The Green Goblin]

Simple solution - read the post and not the time it was posted :D

Thank you for your very helpful input. :rolleyes: :ugh:

I trust tail wheel won't object to me butting into your forum, but the Time Stamp issue has been around since March 2008, and the chances of IB being able to fix it range from slim to none :rolleyes:

PPRuNe is scheduled to be migrated to VB4 by the end of the year (this year, I believe) which will solve the Time Clock issue. Until then, we're expected to be patient and pretend that all is well ;)

ps I'll bet a farthing to Threadneedle Street that my post introduces the Time Stamp problem into this thread. Something about moderator's posts seems to be a catalyst :ooh:

All OzMates are welcome here - even fling wing Mods. :}

The odd part is that until the last couple of days I have never seen the time/date stamp problem occur in Dunnunda Forums! :confused:

I guess you've noticed that "Thread Tools" has also gone very slow in the last month?

I find it amazing that the problems can't be found for over two years. I wonder if IB recruit from CASA?

[airsupport]

Due to some new information, I have decided to lose interest in this problem. :rolleyes:

Thank you for your help. :ok:

[Danny2]

Time to untwist your knickers ladies! The reason you see a different 'last post' time stamp on the thread list when compared to the last post in the thread is because there is a poll in the threads you are fretting about.

If a thread has a poll attached then every time someone votes in the poll the thread 'last post' time is updated. If this didn't happen and no one actually made a new post to the thread with the poll then that thread would slip down the list until it wasn't on the first page as other threads were updated with new posts.

It's not rocket science and nothing is broken. Just one of the ways threads with polls stay 'active' if there is a lot of voting but no new posts.

That was only one of the problems, and we worked that out ages ago.

This thread has never had a poll attached to it, but the times are wrong, still are, yours is. In the topic review the post time of your post is correct, but NOT on the actual posted reply.

May I ask for threads with polls, would it not be better to just make any thread with a poll a ''sticky''?

[Danny2]

Posted by me at 0703 (UTC +1) and showing correct on post and on thread list as is your reply.

[airsupport]

Posted by me at 0703 (UTC +1) and showing correct on post and on thread list as is your reply.

But that is the whole point, mine is NOT.

It is showing on this thread that I posted it yesterday.

Anyway, as I said earlier, don't worry about it.

[airsupport]

Just a quickie.............. That post a few minutes ago shows 2000 hrs which is correct local time here on the list, but 0300 on the actual thread, which would be say US West Coast time.

[Danny2]

Unfortunately, I can't replicate the problem. All post and thread times are showing correctly for me so I can only assume that the problem is possibly something to do locally with your computer.

In the scheme of things, perhaps we should remember the old adage that "worse things happen at sea".

Posted at 0005 UTC +1 (my computers clock time), 1805L Jamaica time.

NO worries, as I said I have stoopped worrying about it, just I like things to work properly. :ok:

That is why I never go on ships. ;)

Enjoy your holiday in Jamaica. :ok:

[airsupport]

PS..... Keep enjoying your holiday ;) however I don't think it can be my computer, I just answered on another thread and the times are perfect on that thread but still wrong on this thread. :confused:

[Checklist Charlie]

Time to untwist your knickers ladies!

Now that's typically a fine answer to the observed problem being discussed.

Irrespective of the explanations being proferred, none have as yet actually done anything to fix the problem that Danny2 says doesn't exist.

Posted on the 23 August 2017 @ 0987Z or thereabouts (maybe)

[airsupport]

So it is NOT just me. :eek:

Thank goodness you told me, I was just about to start ripping my computer apart to find the problem. :ugh:

[Halfwayback]

trying to upset us before the start of The Ashes

Who would think of such a thing????? A touch sensitive methinks!

Posted at 09:35 BST (08:35 GMT) showing as 01:35 in this thread!

[airsupport]

Impossible, I have been assured there is no problem, all the times are perfect, except on my computer. ;)

Actually I am beginning to think that is true about The Ashes, all this messing with the times is to upset us Colonials so we cannot concentrate on flogging the POMEs in the Cricket, which we will do though of course. :D

Heck it is 0251, I should be in bed, good night........... :E

[airsupport]

Okay, now what is going on???

Or are you just messing with us......... ;)

We now have PDT as well, I take it this is the time at HQ in California? :confused:

PS edit...... Now the times AND the date is wrong. :ugh:

Okay now I know you are just messing with us, this post is NOT PDT but PST. :{

[bigairbus]

Agents Scully and Moulder are now looking into this phenomenon.

[Checklist Charlie]

You are all imagining things again.

There are no strange PDT's or PST's or even POOP's in the DTG of the posts.

They are all normal to Danny2 and the US owners.

Get used to the new world (dis)order.

I wonder if their name is Trent?:ok:

CC

[airsupport]

It actually changed again today.

I can only think that it is Pacific Daylight Time (USA), and has now changed to Pacific Standard Time. :confused:

Not that it changed of course, just my imagination. ;)

Yet I just checked and they are supposed to change on the first Sunday in November, NOT today. :ugh:

[airsupport]

Still no info on this??? :confused:

[Checklist Charlie]

Don't tell anyone but the times both local and Zulu are correct at the moment.

Heaven forbid that the US conform to the rest of the world.

Now that would be a first. :D

[airsupport]

Yes, it all appears okay now. :ok:
