Forum Users:
We apologize for the time problem with forum posts. They have been off and we can't seem to get the software fixed at this time. The posting time is supposed to be set to GMT and then you are supposed to adjust your time. That is not working and many of the post times are off by 6, 8, or 10+ hours. Please disregard this problem as best you can.

Mine have been all screwed up .. I wondered what was going on.. thought I had something messed up and was embarassed to ask. :oops:Quote:

We have tried that, but the settings change for some users when the site is backed up. It is true that many users have incorrect settings showing wrong posting times because they have not set them correctly. Others seem to reset during the backups.
The ALIPAC screen name is used by four different people and it has shifted several times. Sometimes the baseline time changes.
It is our hope that an upgrade will remove this bug from the system. We have received many notifications about this problem over the past few months.
Please hold off on further e-mail notices about this problem.

Any fixes worked out on that long link thing too? Thats more annoying than the time issue has been. I did some experimenting with it and it word wraps dynamic links but not others for some reason.
I just ignore the time issue.. but that is getting really annoying
If you're in CST and I think Missouri is, set your time in your profile settings to GMT -6. Works for me.Quote:

This is a test of the ALIPAC GMT posting system. I repeat, this is only a test. :D
The time showed up correct in my preview.
Got you at 11:40 so you are "spot on." Baaa hahahahahaha!Quote:

What is your setting in your profile. GMT minus ?????
If this was not a test, you would be instructed on where to go and what to do. 8OQuote:

All of mine are an hour off now.. before they were WAY off.. but I think I used + instead of -
I am so confused.. when do we do that "Spring forward in spring fall back in fall" thing?
Me either, except I was an Army doggie. (do not give me any crap, jarhead or I will pee on your leg! j/k). That was a loooong time ago.Quote:

It seems to not be the same amount of wrong all the time. Sometimes I post an article that looks like I was posting from almost a day in the future,other times it looks like it's only a few hours off, plus or minus. Back when I worked in web design we used a nuke format similar to this one,and it had a time problem too. Must be a bug that came with this software.
Too funny .. stop it .. I want to get out on this nice spring day with the family.Quote:

If I remember correctly, it goes like this;
EST: GMT-5
CST: GMT-6
MST: GMT-7
PST: GMT-8
Hawaii: GMT-10
But it's only you're opinion I care about. Not when you post it.
Ditto on that! Perhaps when daylight savings time kicks in again things will be better? :D Hell, with my work schedule I'm lucky if I know what day it is. :twisted:Quote:
