Oh!!! It's alive! What a relief! It's running fast for me, at least for now. ETA: Though, according to their clock I'm definitely living in the future

What a different 15 minutes make. It's running well for me, too. ETA: And at 3:11 pm (or, probably, 8:21 their time) it makes molasses look speedy

This happened to me in the Spoiler Speculation Thread - and I think with others too - I just posted a comment and instead it to be shown at the end of the thread, it was shown in the middle. Though, my name is indicated as the last poster in that thread.

Lully, it is apparently arranging everything by "time." And, as the server was 5 hours and 20 minutes off for a day, we're all now posting "earlier" than some of the posts that are already there. Hopefully it will all get straightened out in the next couple of hours as we catch up with where the clock was.

Thanks ENB. I suspected the problem was the clock, but I didn't have noticed that they had adjusted the time.

That ENB was me. But it wouldn't even let me edit a post in the "future." My last post was at 10:10 pm. It is now 10:12 in real time so this is the test as to whether we will be allowed to post once Forumer's clock catches up with us. Fingers crossed.

Okay, so it's now the correct time, but it won't mark topics as being read. And I have a hard time believing that there are really 84 people on at the moment, but maybe I'm wrong.

I looked at the 86 online - the "guests" are all people whose timestamps are still in the future, or at least show activity in the future. Also, you can't "read" something posted in the "future," so things are still marked as unread until that timestamp passes. It looks like as we all reach the time of our "future" posts things will start to normalize again.

I'm guessing that the board will not mark topics as read if they have posts in the future. The board probably thinks you can't read them yet, since it's in the future and all. I'm starting to think the board's name is HAL ;) GG, the last locked-out Mod.

Don't forget, now that browsers have tabs, some people might be keeping a tab open here so they can check periodically whether we're back (and whether they can post.) I think it's only 2-3 more hours before all this stops being an issue.

Okay, I should probably go to bed and forget the time problem until tomorrow, but now I notice that when I log out I'm also back in time! My last post in the Cafeteria was at Sun 3:17am, but after I disconnected it reads Sat 10:17pm. It's like living in a strange sci-fi movie... HAL indeed! :lol:

Lully, it always does that. When you log off, it doesn't know what time zone you're in -- you are a "guest." So the time stamps revert to Central Time because Forumer is located in St. Louis, MO.

Poeia, I'm sure it's not what it's happening now. Usually when I access, the forum's clock it's at least 3 hours ahead of my time zone (I'm in South America). Now the clock, when I don't log on, is 2 hours behind my time zone. Also, when I do a post - like I did in the Cafeteria - it shows the correct time, but when I log out, the time changes in the post, something that didn't happen before. I already cleaned my PC, but the problem persists. I don't think it prevents me to post, but I'm curious if this is only happening to me.

Lully, here are some things you can try: 1.) Check under your "profile" that the time zone is set to your own time zone. It's set as +/- GMT times. For example, right now, the central time zone is GMT -5. 2.) Clear your cache and if you'd like, any cookies with Forumer in the name. 3.) If it's still a problem, reboot. 4.) And if it's still a problem after that, let us know.
