Something up with this site's time stamps on posts?

Hey just found it weird that I posted something recently on here and it said I posted it at 6:30 am and it's 7:26 pm for me.

Not sure if its any importance to anyone, just pointing it out if it needs to be fixed or if its like a server time there is different then mine.

idk. ^_^

Good example. I posted that at 7:29 pm.

I made a post about it on the Bugs section. Not sure if Gary's seen it or not. ahem

ok.

Click on the 'Profile' button on the top bar up there.

Hover over, 'Modify Profile', then click on the, 'Look and layout' item.

There is a Time Offset option.  Click on the, 'auto detect' button and that *should* do it.  If not, you can manually put in the offset to whatever it is to match your local time.

Click, 'Change profile' at the bottom.

At least I wasn't the only one. I know why I totally missed that. I never hovered over the autodetect to see that it was a link I had to click, I thought that the () meant that it would autodetect somehow. I guess I saw the zero in there and made some assumption that meant automatic unless I changed it. The forum pages also don't have anything anywhere to denote what format the time shown is in (i.e. based on UTC), so I guess that added to my assumption that it knew.

Anyway, my mistake, it works now.

Had exactly the same issue. I'd argue it's poor interface design, should have been a button(Which is on the SMF devs, not Gary of course).

I agree...  the interface is kind of funky.  You'd think it would just autodetect by default when you register and then let you adjust if it's not right.

Anyway, my mistake, it works now.

Not a mistake... it's just weird AND it's buried down in a place you don't expect it to be.
