Title: Forum clock
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 13, 2004, 05:40:42 pm: My PC and the forum clock are getting increasingly out of synch. A few weeks ago the forum was only about 3 minutes fast. Now it's nine.
Anyone else getting a similar thing going on?

well i wouldn't worry about it, if it's not our problem. my computer says 5:45 PM, and according to the Verizon timeserver it's 5:45, although the forum clock says that my clock's 7 minutes slow. i'll take Verizon's time as accurate though

Post by: Kamikaze on March 14, 2004, 04:44:24 am: I'm 10 minutes off. It's probably the forum that's off though as my clock is constantly re-adjusted using NTP.
