Clock is messed up

So, going to change the time actually DOESN'T work. So, unless there's some time setting that lets you set the time 3 hours and 19 minutes ahead, there is no solution to it anywhere. Also, I just noticed something cool. If you post some thing, leave it on the page and the bottom times will stay the same. If you posted at 6:28 AM, the post times would be 9:49 AM, and on the bottom, it'd say "All times are GMT -7. The time is now 6:49 AM". Complete proof that the time on the bottom is a 3-hour difference to the time on the posts.

EDIT: Actually, the bottom is 20 minutes fast.

According to my clock, by using that solution, your post is at 9:46 AM. When you posted, my local time was at 9:25 AM so in my eyes it's not that bad. At least I'm on the same hour.

The time at the bottom of the page, the time it says on the post, and the time on my computer are all messed up.

I tried what you said but the clock says I posted this at 04:03 PM when It's really 3:44 P.M.
Also I am in EST so what you said should have worked for me....but it didn't.

I'm assuming that VB pulls time from the server.
The server time is off.
There's nothing we can do about that.
Until the server farm resets the time on the server we're stuck being off.

You could email vBulletin and tell them about the server time problem and see if they can fix it.

But, it is just a clock, it isn't that bad. To know when you posted, just get a real clock and it will tell the correct time.

Yeah, I have my watch and the one on the computer. I've also remembered the time the clocks are set ahead to, and so I know what time it always is. Do that and then you'll never be off again, until it gets fixed. I barely even pay attention to the time change on the site anymore, I just know it happens.

It is now 12:55 AM ET according to my PC. Let's see what time it shows this being posted.


Wow, it showed 4:15 AM, now what is with that?

My settings are correct in my profile -5 GMT, so what gives? Why is it an additional 3 hours off besides the 20 minute server time differential?

It's getting really annoying. The clock on the bottom of the page says it's 10:21 am.. it's 11:02 pacific time. It's always like one or 2 hours off. What's wrong with it?

EDIT: And the clock on my post said it was posted 01:23.. ?!

[JaMan51]

How many of these threads will we see?

It's just a glitch in the server and the program. It has been like this for a while, and the admins know about it and are trying to fix it. Just live with it until then. I have.

It is actually a bug that vBulletin has right now. It isn't TTC, it is vBulletin.

No one can do anything about it unless someone e-mails vBulletin about the clock being messed up.

It isn't that big of a deal.

Oh lol. Yeah it's just really annoying.. sometimes I just want to know when someone posted. Mods you can close this thread, I have my answers.
