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?

 
my pc clock is always screwy, im sure it runs faster than normal clocks or something.

I was wondering if it was me :D I recently reset my CMOS and I was wondering if I put the time back in correctly :D

i'm not sure about vBulletin, but doesn't the forum script get the displayed time from the server it's running on?  so the only thing to change it would be to reset the server's time?

But it's the individual pc clocks that are getting faster.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

oh

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

It knows we're onto it. It's now 20 or so minutes ahead.

It tells me it's 11:26. My computer tells me it's 11:06. My Brain tells me it's time to play Halo.

I'm 8 minutes fast. Yeah, I use the board time as a general indication more than anything else. :)

I'm 10 minutes off. It's probably the forum that's off though as my clock is constantly re-adjusted using NTP.
