I wonder if it is to do with posters local timezones being sequenced in order as with the sites, so if you are running a timezone say -1 hrs from the sites, you appear in front of a post that was done on the sites time.


Confused, you should be...


Edit:-

Forget that, site says I posted this @ 15:27 and in UK it is 23:41

I suspect that one of their servers has reverted to or has been set to PST which is UTC -8hrs

When I tried to search it told me my token had expired.

Where do you buy a new token? the same place you get a TV licence?

Umm, confused !!

This forum requires that you wait 5 seconds between searches. Please try again in 29100 seconds.
29100 seconds = 8 hrs~ish, the time difference between PST and UTC. See the time stamp fairy thread below.

Either that or a process on the forum has set a number of people's profiles to PST from UTC/GMT?

It can't happen, impossible with all the safeguards!

I am sure the webmaster and the techies are going to say " it can't be, not possible with all our fail safe systems, yada, yada, yada " just like the Airbus development engineers and pilots.

I don't buy that. I think this audience is so diverse that not everyone uses the exact same browser on the exact same type of computer.

I will believe that there are multiple servers handling the data, and that one of them is using the wrong time zone conversion.

On a Jetblast thread, (Where in the World?) I posted once, then a few minutes later posted again, but it reset the latter time to four hours earlier, bumping it up.

It's confusing to read comments on something that hasn't been posted yet.

That is roughly an eight hour delay - about the same as London-Los Angeles? Could the forum be running to West Coast time?

post 9 in Dubai its 9am

I have made several posts this morning, and used the sequence header as above.

All posts have been sequenced correctly, but this might be because there have been no recent posts withing the CA time zone -wherever time zone.

More importantl is is the smell cheker option...needed please....

Dawler: your timing stamp shows: 26th 05h18....
