Okay...I don't mean to make this confusing but I went in and changed my time and it is still coming up wrong. Any ideas?

Did you make sure to click that button at the very bottom of your profile page after you changed the time?

Yes I sure did! No matter what I put in there, my clock doesn't change! It says that it is 3:46 am even though it really is 11:46 am. Duh

hmmm...maybe you should delete your cookies...on your profile page (the page where your PM's are)...you will have to sign back into the forum when you do this.

...sometimes that works for me.

Twilight zone... I didn't do anything to fix yours, but I'm glad it got better!
I saw one of Cindy's kin down in the black hole, he probably flipped a widget somewhere...

I did a test on the smoke alarm post that was stuck at 3:30 and it recorded the right time. Patience will reward itself and I'm sure it will all be back in sync before tonight.

<strong> Suddenly there was a gaping 12 hour hole in the time/space continuom at that moment. When someone posts on a topic, assuming they adjusted their profile, the new topic should show at the correct time and the topic will have moved through the black hole to safety. If no one posts, the topic is stuck back at 3 o'clock this morning. Eventually, your computer's clock and the forum's clock and the servers clock will all catch up to each other, or someone will post on that topic and everything will seem like nothing happened, unless you read the posts before the the post that straightened out the topic... there will appear to be a 12 hour gap between the two posts, even though the posts may have been made a couple hours apart... That black hole in the Twilight zone....

I probably sound like a raving lunatic now, right? grinnnn

I knew there would be adjustment problems, but I thought the program would self repair a little faster than this. Its an old set of scripts and the older we get, the slower we move I guess.

Another analogy that might fit at this point, would be a bunch of pollywogs in a puddle. They are all just floating motionless until you poke one to get him moving, and he bumps into one and they bump into two more, then four etc. until all of a sudden the puddle is alive with pollywog bumping. We just had to do a little bumping to get the meta files moving again!

Some of our veterans around here can tell you horror stories of past problems that took months to resolve. This would be an easy fix if I wanted to shut down for 3+ hours and run the meta re-sync software, but if I did that you'd probably all be so bored, you end up going out and causing trouble around town and I don't want to be responsible for riots and carnage that would follow! angell
