Title: What's with the time-warping?
Post by: Tiger_T on November 03, 2006, 03:05:03 PM
The forum posts display date/time codes from the future. aka: 4.11.2006  :erk

So.. anyone else got the same problem?
It's annoying because it messes up my read/unread post tags.

EDIT:
Screenshot. (Note that I'm on forum-time +7)

Yeah. And yeah. And it's dumb.

Yup, looks to be happening for everyone. Apparently, I will have been posting tomorrow. Let's do the time warp agaaain! :ipod

I also got an error telling me I had posted within the past 30 seconds (and therefore couldn't post again), but it only happened once.

Unfortunately, Damaris is away on AIM, and DMoon's been idle for 7 hours. Who the hell spends 7 hours away from their computer? D:

Good. I thought I was going blind last night. I sent a PM to Amber about this, but it seems she pretty much left a short while later. But then, it was late where she is.

But yeah, it's annoying. The forum can't seem to register the "mark as read"...thingy.

Maybe the forum-date was offset by a day or something... :rolleyes

Everything got temporarily set for somewhere near 1-2 AM EST tomorrow... and I guess it'll only get marked as read once that time passes here? o.O

That's probably the case, it must have a flag for the last time each board or topic was visited, which it uses to calculate whether it's been read or not. So by late tonight/early tomorrow, it should all be fixed.

It'll all be fine in the morning :B

Dont you go to your profile... and set your timezone... so that it tells you what time the posts were made in your time...

I had to tinker with mine a bit... but I got it  :kirby

All right- I've made inquiries, and am just waiting on a response.

From what I can tell, I think it was a glitch and that everything is back to normal, just that several posts were made in the "future."  Once we get past tomorrow, "Mark As Read" should work fine.

People are always welcome to e-mail me at Damaris148[at]yahoo[dot]com.  I don't have my public AIM name up while I am at work, although I do keep a private one up so that I can be grabbed by the other mods in an emergancy.

I'll keep you all posted.

It hates you all ;)

Let's give it until the 5th, and see what happens.  If it pursists, I'll call the server company, otherwise I do think it was a localized glitch.

It just lurks in a dark corner and waits that you drop your guard.

Thanks, Damaris.  :3
