    Clock weirdness?

    I just posted on this thread:

    http://community.avid.com/forums/t/70918.aspx

    The first post, which says it was made at 9:20am (UK), was actually made at 2:20pm (UK), but the forum software put it first because that's when it thinks it happened.  I don't know if this is system-wide, or just a problem with my profile.

    If I could just have a mini-rant here for a minute, I know next to nothing about forum administration, but I'm active on three forums, and neither of the other two have the constant flakiness that this one has.  One of the forums is running on Simple Machines software, and the other on phpBB, and neither of them has anywhere near as many problems as the Telligent software this forum runs on.

    That's to take nothing away from the hard work that the Avid Community Team is doing, and I appreciate it wholeheartedly, but it's been a while that we've been on the new forum software now, and I'm not impressed with it.

    Time back to normal (new server is in a new timezone). Sorry for that.

    Oh really?

    I just posted this and quoted you "before" you even had gotten up this morning apparantly. 

    And I'm with Carl here... this Forum software seems to have a ton of issues.  Slowness, Errors, Time-Stamp, etc.

    [edit] Forum post time says 1040.  Kenton's right.  It's still off.

    I just posted at 8:35am PDT, and the time-stamp is 3:32am ... and the post didn't float to the top ...

    Re: Clock weirdness?

    Is the forum clock ever going to operate correctly to its base reference of GMT (as suggested in the time setting in your portfolio setup). In my experience it is always an hour out and seems to work on British standard time (i.e. affected by British daylight saving. Or the local time of the server compared to GMT where local time has a daylight savings parameter) not GMT. Here this means that if I correctly postion myself as GMT +12 (local standard winter time) I am an hour out. If the clocks time was actually referencing GMT this would not be the case.  (I first discussed this 2 or 3 days after the updated forum was created October 2005)

    Thanks for the continued dongle support
