Forum Clock is Off

Hmmm. That's odd, vkeks05.

By your location of "PA", I assume that is Pennsylvania. I am in Georgia, also in the Eastern time zone.

In my User Options, I have "Time Zone Offset (hours)" set to -7. And the forum time is almost dead on for me. E.g., I am posting this at 12:32 AM EDT...

EDIT: And the time displayed by my post is 12:30 AM.

That wasn't my point, John. :)

My point was that you are able to get the forum time accurate for you by changing "Time Zone Offset (hours)".

What didn't make any sense was that the forum time appeared to be off in increments less than full hours to vkeks05 (in this case, 47 minutes).

As long as the forum time is correct in regards to the minutes, you can change the "Time Zone Offset (hours)" setting on your User profile to make the forum time display properly for you.

I don't care if it is set to MDT or EDT or whatever, just as long as it displays correctly.

Oh, and BTW, to be accurate, with Daylight Savings Time in effect, GMT - 7 hours is PDT, not MDT. ;) EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is GMT - 4 hours. So, technically, the forum time is off from GMT by three hours, not two!
