It is definitely fast, I keep my PC in sync with NIST time though the use of the utility available Here



You can also get a Display of Time here.

Four minutes?

Right now, my local time (GMT-8) is 05:07. The bbs says, "All times are GMT -8 hours. The time now is 12:10 AM. "



So it's three minutes and 5ive hours off the way I see it.



Of course, I'm assuming the board corrects for daylight time.



I probably shouldn't assume.



At one point, one of the admins said he recognized that the clock is off, but that it's way down on the list of things to do.

ETHDEE, my mistake, yes there is several hours of error plus the minutes, but you can fake the TZ offset, by putting in a false offset. I think DST is taken care of. I calculate 4 hours and about 4 minutes of error. Not too worried about it, but would eventually like to see this taken care of too.

Am I in London???

To get the correct (US) east coast time, I have to set my user options for Western europe (london) time. So I say the time is waaaayyyy off.

Thanks Robin, it worked this time

Much better!

It looks to me as if they fixed the time zone offset. Mine's only 3-4 minutes off now. I knew they would!
