Thread: Server Time is Off

Are you trying to say the "time of post" is not even synched to the forum clock (always displayed at the bottom of every page)?



Edit: I just posted this post and it shows the proper time. The clock at the bottom was 2 minutes behind because I hadn't refreshed the page. I refreshed immediately after posting this post and it is showing an identical time.

Ben, that is EXACTLY what I am trying to say as that is what I have noticed as well too!

I am not certain if its a recurring problem, but its just my personal observation. If I see it again, I will take a screen shot and post it up

Sounds to me like it is working as intended then? That clock at the bottom does not update on it's own... That's how it works. You have to refresh the page, or go to another page for it to refresh. It was never meant to be real-time.

The issue (well, if it ever presents itself to you) is not that it is BEHIND, it's that it is AHEAD of time.

However, it seems to be working, so I am not certain as to what is going on at this point

I see...

Appears to be accurate now..was off yesterday by about 10 minutes. Being in the IT world, I know having correct time for coordinating events is important! Pretty sure the forum gets its time from server time.

-G

110% it's a server time issue then. As stated before in another thread, this server is shared with a few other websites as well. Someone probably noticed something and corrected it

But you know what, you're right. I just saw it again.

My post above was at 11:52 yet the time below was still 11:51 as of typing THIS reply.

Weird.

^^ Bingo!!

Pretty sure it's a server related issue. If it gets too out of whack, shoot me a PM and I'll look to see if it's something related to recent work on the forum.
