Or, you are just behind times like usual.

All my clocks read the correct time. Right now it is 8:15 a.m.

I guess he’s ahead of the times!

I've been wondering what boat running around in the Atlantic is keeping time for this forum. Always seems to be about an hour ahead of me (currently 9:20 EST here).

Oh well, we all know TX is in its own time zone. The Twilight Zone!

This is the calm before the storm here. Tonight thunderstorms and potential tornadoes as well as AL son and his family coming in. Tomorrow night the full crowd shows up when we finally have Christmas. 9 GKs this place will be hopping.

You do know that EST stands for estimated time.

Perhaps an adjustment in your settings is in order:

It worked for me.

And CST can also mean China Standard Time

Wayne M · 01-02-2023, 07:42 AM

The actual time here on Central time is 1 hour earlier than posted time.
Hmm! might have to go and change settings. (If I can find where!)

Of course, that’s where the clock came from!

because the posts are eastern time and you 2 are an hour behind

You can always tell the skill level of software developers in the way they handle dates and times. Not being able to represent dates and times accurately across time zones is a sure sign of "that's too hard for me to figure out". Even though the problem has been solved 1,000's of times before, either it's not invented here or they're just too dumb to even understand how to research solutions from others. The fact that a server is physically located in a particular time zone is laughable as an excuse as well...just cracks me up that they're not embarrassed delivering such solutions. I think only the RV industry comes close to this level of incompetence and still be paid big bucks for it.

Hey muties, does this sound like Carls on a soap box?

Why are you picking on Carl when he's right? Sheesh!

It's so easy to convert time zones based on the GMT Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Here in Central Time Zone we are -6 hours. So GMT 0600 is midnight here, except in daylight savings time when it is -5. SO THERE!

Way to go Carl (you owe me.)

It's a pet peeve of mine, when I notice software that is either poorly designed or has really obvious bugs like not handling dates and times...or perhaps never even intended to so it causes confusion. I know someone mentioned going into your profile and changing some settings but call me lazy, I think the software should do that itself, not me. Fortunately I'm in the same timezone as the server (

) so it works for me!

Another favorite saying of every software developer on the planet - it works on my machine!

OK, I'll bring up something RV related...my dang toilet started "leaking" all the water in the bowl. I thought dang, this has happened in the past and the last time I finally figured out how to solve it. Get yourself some silicon grease (some call it plumbers grease) and (using a glove of course), wipe some of that grease around the flapper thingy and the edge it connects with. Problem solved
