Is it just my computers or are the post times a little off? I couldn't find anything about this, sorry if it has been covered already.
At the tone the time will be Friday 10/12/2007 12:57pm and 10 seconds
*beeeeep*

Hmmm I was thinking for a second that it was UTC, but it's an hour off from UTC.

Are you set for PST? Go to "My Profile", check "Edit Profile" and confirm your time zone.

I just rechecked my setting and it is on Pacific Time. It appears that the site is 1-2 hours ahead of actual time. When posting a fishing report late (before midnight) in the evening, I have to move the calender date back.
It has been that way for quite a while.

I had the same occurance. The deal is the Sequel Server is in a different Time Zone that is why it is off. It will be 2 hours off from Pacific time. I got this info from Aaron when i had the issue.

When you make a post in the forum, the forum software actually sends the time to the database for storage. When you post a fishing report the database server itself marks the time and enters it in the date field. Thats why the profile time zone doesn't have anything to do with it.
The next upgrade to WL will alleviate this problem.

It is an easy fix the way it is now, not really a problem. It is just puzzling.
I have noticed that when placing east coast orders on-line late at night, the transaction date will be the next day.

"If a boy in Chicago is on a train going 73 mph heading to California and posts a fishing report and a boy in Florida is traveling in a plane going 250 mph, which post will reach the server first????"
The moral of the story everyone..... WHO CARES!!!!!! LOL
Sorry guys...I'm not the computer genious that Aaron and others are, I just thought I'd lighten the mood a bit.
