Forum predicting the future?

On top of that, the verb tenses are incorrect: "arteom liked your post" should be "arteom will like your post". 😉

Brilliant!

Are the date and time settings on your PC correct?

That's a mobile phone screenshot. Soon corrects with a refresh. Just thought it funny!

The reason this happens is you had the page open for some time. It creates a lag in the base time when dynamic page updates are done.

Right, 6:03 PM for me is it? I'll think of something deeply profound to post.

Thanks for the heads up, it's good to have a schedule...

Allen I hope you would have said;

"It creates a lag in the space time continuum".

Or something

Does the server use a different time(zone) for its time? I've noticed a similar thing even when accessing the website from a computer with the correct time, where my posts show up as if I posted at some (other) time. (Eg I post at 8pm, it shows 3am)

I wouldn’t expect that to be a problem. If you click on your avatar at the top right of the page, and select preferences you should see your timezone setting.

Thanks, that fixed it! I probably created my account when I was in my home country which is a few hours ahead, changing it worked. Do you know if there is any way to have it set to the local timezone by default?

Windows can set the timezone automatic providing you have a location service enabled. Then the browser needs to pick it up from the OS, and the forum-software from the browser.

I knew you people were brilliant when I asked to join, but I had no idea!!!

Thanks, my computer doesn't have the issue and automatically changes the zone. I'm not sure if there's a way to check if the browser/website it's just this site that has this issue. Perhaps other websites using the same server/service might also show such things but diyaudio is the only such forum I use.

Indeed, the option to use system default time settings seems to be missing.
