All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:36 PM.


check your settings in the "user cp" at the top

also check your own computers clock.

Does it go off of Windows time on your own PC? It shows right now that the time is 12:15 AM instead of PM.

Go here, http://www.satelliteguys.us/profile.php?do=editoptions, and see what your time zone setting is for. The site's webserver either has it's own NTP server or it looks it up elsewhere so it has a "master" time. It then uses the above setting to adjust it to *your* location. This way it doesn't matter if the server is in California, NY, or somewhere on another continent, "your" time will appear correct.

Ok not sure why someone erased my post but mine shows 07:58pm wich is right other than it has the "0" format wich is normaly only used in the military 24hr format and it didnt do this until recently that I know of. Thinking back to it I believe that it at one point was off on the am/pm or didnt show it.

Well, that was part of the problem. My location was set to an island in the South Pacfic. I'll check when I get home ( at work right now). But what explains the date being so far off. I know my computer clock is accurate.
