why isnt the time on the posts correct?

[deanox 10,045]

as the topic says, i was just wondering why the time stamp on the posts is out by about 10 minutes? any reason? has anyone else noticed? maybe ive been spending too much time on here?

Could it be your clock that is out? :D

The timestamp on the posts go by the clock on the server. IE, At the time of posting this message, my clock says 10:55 but the server clock says (whatever the timestamp up there ^ ^ ^ says). Its clock gets synced with an NTP service so it should be pretty accurate.

your post just proved that the server clock is 10 minutes out nasher

My home clock could be out as well :D

*grasps at straws*

[deanox 10,045]

my mobile and computer say the same thing, its now 214PM

[deanox 10,045]

maybe your home clock is out by 4 minutes? lol

Time should display as 5:33 for this post.

EDIT: Looks like the server clock is out - 6 mins slow?

[deanox 10,045]

thats the conclusion i came too...and that nashers computer clock is out by a further 4 minutes

Time test at 4:26 PM

[Nasher 33,617]

Huzzah!

[deanox 10,045]

so did you change the time at your house? or did you change the time on the server? lol

[Nasher 33,617]

I resynchronised the server clock, it was out by 6 minutes.

Haha - I'm a toothless tiger :D

I've PM'd Nasher in case he hasn't seen the thread / hasn't noticed.

I believe the time is still well out of whack.

Also - just a query - I noticed today in one of the threads, a new member who signed today. Under his name it had Member No.5004. Yet on the Demonland Forums page it has 2038 registered members?

Is it because there has been so many deleted members, ie. Spam members?

By my clock it's around 33 mins out.

Your guess is on the money. Userid's aren't re-allocated while the registered members tally doesn't include deleted members.

By my clock, it's now 40 minutes out.

Just wanted to thank Nasher or whoever it was who fixed the time on the clock. Now seems to be spot on.

Actually I went to fix it on the back of constant nagging from Rogue and found someone had already done it. One of the other server guys I reckon (silent [and involuntary] partners of Demonland).

Just shut up and take the credit!

Demonland has silent/involuntary partners?

It lives on infrastructure that is funded out of the pocket of a few guys who use it for completely different purposes (including myself), basically. The "silent involuntary" partners are guys who know me, but don't know anything about the site other than it exists and it lives on their server.
