I think the problem with the clock on the board is that it's set to CST while the board software is assuming that it's GMT. as I type this, I'm set to EST (gmt -5) in preferences. my clock says that it's 11:58pm, the clock on the board says that it's 5:51PM. The CST time is 10:58, and allowing for the difference between how my clock and the servers are set, subtracting 5 hours from it would give the erronious time that the board is reporting.

It's weird. i looked into it once before and it's set to GMT +0. There still seems to be a problem though. I'll check it again tonight. :confused:

There doesn't seem to be any option to use anything other than GMT. I reset the forum to use GMT -5:00 (EST), but it's still off. I don't know what else I can do.

Yes this has been confusing. Earlier I had to set my clock to GMT +1 (Germany?) in order for the forums to show the correct EST times. Now I've had to change my time to -4 GMT (Atlantic Time).

Also the times are now military rather than AM/PM.
