same original author...i guess it's ok this once

Yup, and from PST I see 8:50 for the post and 11:50 for the edit I bet Ikonboard will fix the non-adjustment of edit times in their next release.

Invision Board! NEVER CONFUSE THEM!

*removing foot from mouth*... I can't believe I said Ikonboard... Invision is so much better, too...

Everything shows 11:50 pm for me too!

Well, I didn't have my time zone set properly so that compensates for at least three hours of the offset...doesn't seem to be a recurring problem so we'll call it solved. I am posting this message at 11:50 PM GMT -5 as a test.

[Edit 11:50 Still]Post was right, I assume edit date is too

Upon further inspection, it appears that Invision does not adjust the "edited at" times in the messages according to your preferences like it does for display of all other times. (Probably because the "edited at" time is just inserted as text into the message, not a dynamic date.) So the time is put in according to the time zone of the posting user. For example, I had my daylight savings box set wrong for a while, so my post edits from that time are an hour off from when they should be (for anyone who looks at those posts, since they're not time zone adjusted).

With that in mind...
Tristan, maybe your clock offset was set wrong when you edited that post, and later got fixed?
Or, maybe the server just had some temporary burp and wrote the GMT time onto the post without applying the proper -5 offset?

Tristan,

Well if you go back to your original post on page two of this topic, what times do you see on your original post? Cause I'm still seeing those same times that I've mentioned, and I'm seeing them on two different computers.

hi -- opposite of what i said to my idiot friend who decided that my computer would be his playground for a day...sorry for the mixup folks...at least i guess it was him, may not have been...alan did you do it?

Ok, now I've got a question. Tristan, how did you manage to edit this post in the future? You placed the original post on the board at 4:09pm today the 26th, yet you managed to edit it at 8:15pm today. At present it's only 4:55pm.

Can you also predict if Amtrak will be fully funded this year? Now that would really be neat.

I have powers

I'll look into that issue for y'alls when i get a free minute

It says 8:09 PM and 8:15 PM for me -- although I posted both this morning

All my times are showing up fine, so it seems to be a user-specific issue: check both the time zone AND the Daylight Savings box under Your Control Panel (Board Settings). The old forum had just a time zone setting, but not a Daylight Savings box, as I remember, but if you have the right zone here and don't have DST enabled you'll still be an hour off. Also keep in mind that the default time zone right now is Pacific — convenient for me since that's my zone, but I take it most of y'all are in more easterly locales, so adjust accordingly.

Mkincaid,

Actually I had my time zone and daylight savings set within 10 minutes of joining the new board. All of my times, and those of other posters are showing up correct for me.

The problem with Tristan's post about his friend, is the fact that he made the original post at 4:09 pm EST (at least for me). He then edited the post sometime before 4:55 pm EST on the same day, which is when I posted my question to him. However when I view that post which still displays the 4:09 pm time at the top, at the bottom of that post where it says that he edited the post it tells me that he did it at 8:15pm almost 4 hours later. Even though I was able to view the edit of the post within 40 minutes of his original post, the board told me that he had made that edit 4 hours later than his original post.

So to recap, if the times on the board are correct, this means that I was reading Tristan's edit 3 hours and 20 minutes before he actually made it.

Well I kinda would like to agree with you but it was way before 4 PM when I posted both of these, in any US time zone. And I live in ALX so that's EST.

Thanks again Anthony, for the new look!!!1

Having a blast with the new forum!!!!
