Forum clock time

(1/1)

Graeme:
Has the forum clock gone wrong?

If I'm not logged in, what part of the world does the clock time I see on the slick forum correspond to?   It doesn't seem to match North Carolina right now??

chrisant:
I'm in Pacific time, and the forum clock has never matched my time zone in the 3 years I've been using SE and frequenting the forums.  I just assumed it intentionally shows the server's local time.

Graeme:
That's what I thought too but now I'm confused.  Yesterday, Clark made a post at around breakfast time in North Carolina but the time on his post was nothing like breakfast time.  I'm in New Zealand and I always thought the forum clock time showed the time where SlickEdit is based (North Carolina  - is that "Eastern" time) when I'm not logged in.

LBCEi:
Looks to me like it is GMT.

Phil Barila:
You might check your profile preferences.  Mine had -3 in it, and I'm not sure how that happened, since I'm only 2 hours off from NC.  Anyway, once I fixed that, (and it will even fix it automatically for you if you click "auto detect", the forum time no longer appears to be in Bermuda.   :D
