Forum server clock

[mmh]

Something may be up with the clock on the forum server(s) or similar, posts are viewing with times displayed as, for example, "10:11am later today."

I've been getting that ever since the forum update. I had a PM that said "tomorrow at 00:00" for instance!

It looks all right for me; is this a time zone issue? Including servers somewhere not being updated?

 

[Mojo]

Fine for me also.

Not unless the Scottish Government has done something I don't know about!

This is what it looks like when it happens. (Attached is a screenshot of a post header showing a date in the future)

Afraid I can't help you with how you've gotten it to appear like that! That post appears to be displaying fine for me

I'm not seeing this either. Is it browser and/or hardware (pc, android, iphone...) specific?

It does for me too now. I noticed it a few weeks ago too, so it's something intermittent. I did check my own clock on both occasions (despite thinking forum software that left date calculation to the client via javascript or some other magic sounded a bit avant-garde!)

Do you often view the forum as a guest and then log in?

It could be the clock on a host server somewhere that failed to update properly.

I can replicate it by changing my system clock (before refreshing the page)

It’s caused by your browser being is out of sync with the server due to cache/session being expired.

Is there any easy way the first two posters can check if that's what's happened to them?

It seems to happen when I return to the forum after having been offline since the previous day, refreshing the site fixes it

Weird I just logged in from my iPhone. It said last post tomorrow! No big deal. My laptop login is showing correct time

 

[Mojo]

This is caused by, you having opened the page historically, but not re-loading it.

Ok thanks.

I've had yesterday and tomorrow, refreshing always fixes it thankfully.

Edit: just seen Mojo's post which explains it nicely
