The time is...

**craig** · 07-05-2013, 08:40 AM

... off for me. CigarSmokers says GMT-4 = 09h36, but it is actually 17h43.

Is it just me?

No, it's not just you. I think we need hexilicious to fix it.

I brought it to Hex's attention - the time is pulled from the serve and i can't get to it to fix it.

You should be able to contact your host and ask them to fix the time setting on the server. Chances are it just needs to be resync'd with their NTP server.

I brought this up months ago and no one is doing anything about it. Not only is it off by eight or nine hours, it's off by about four minutes too.

I posted this at 12:22am ADT and my post is time stamped "Today 04:18 PM"

WTF, it's off by eight hours and four minutes.

I'm not buying the bullshit about some "server" running amok.......there ain't no "server" that's off by eight friggin' hours AND four minutes.

Who do you mean by "you" and "your"? Our site admin who hasn't been around for over a year?

Good luck with that.

I wasn't aware the admin hadn't been around for a while. I'm not even sure I know who the admin is.

So being I'm a computer geek by trade and having experience with hosted sites I contacted the host's support team. What I learned was, without being the admin, there's nothing anybody can do. (I figured as much having been the a co-admin of a privately owned gaming server hosted at a colocation site) He has to call them and discuss this with them.

From what the support person told me, the issue appears to be a nameserver issue and would be easy enough to fix............if the admin would call them........LOL

Nah... That's the general inmate population (according to hogwash)

I tried to do this myself, but could not due to security restrictions. I opened a ticket with the provider, this should hopefully be fixed soon.

Is that why I couldn't connect to the main webpage for a while yesterday?

Cool....thanks Hex!

I responded just to check and voila!, the time, she is fixed!

The above post showed 08:38 which is what time it was when I clicked the "post" button!
