The forum clock is off
on: March 06, 2018, 02:17:39 am
Not by a huge amount, once you reset the hour offset, but still:
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

Hrm, system time is correct.

POSIX is fine, as is Rev or RP

Everything seems to be okay now?

On my end its 15 seconds or so ...

"When you work with water, you have to know and respect it. When you labour to subdue it, you have to understand that one day it may rise up and turn all your labours into nothing. For what is water, which seeks to make all things level, which has no taste or colour of its own, but a liquid form of Nothing?" - Graham Swift, Waterland

So, it's 11:37AM PST for me at this moment.

The system says it's 1:37PM CST, and I've verified the HW clock is set to UTC.
The forum says it's 12:36PM

*clickclick*

And the forum was set to a timezone somewhere in Africa.  :blah:

Fixed

MatthewPapa found and fixed the root cause of the forum time inconsistency.  It turns out that the server NTP service was disabled, which meant that there was nothing to keep the clock from drifting, even if it was manually synchronized.  Forum post times should be accurate as of yesterday.

EDIT: Having posted this, the time still seems to be off by 15 minutes.  Will check with MP again.
