Title: The forum clock is off
Post by: The E on March 06, 2018, 02:17:39 am

Not by a huge amount, once you reset the hour offset, but still:

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

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.
