MGD72Monte Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm sure this has been asked before but it's not in the FAQs and I've always wondered. Where does the time attributed to everyone's posts responses come from? (i.e. 17 January, 2011 06:13) Is it based on the Zulu clock or is there a connection to the person who posts it? I've accessed the site fm Europe and both North American coasts and can't figure it out . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 They are relative to your time zone that you set in your profile. At least that is how I see them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGD72Monte Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm looking in my profile and I can't find a time zone selection option. Based on the time it is showing me for my post above (I posted at 13:56 and it is showing me 09:56 which puts me somewhere in the pacific ocean or possibly in Alaska). Interestingly, if I don't log in it shows 17:56 in which case I'm somewhere adrift in the Atlantic ocean. . How do I get myself on dry land, preferably the eastern time zone?

maddmann313 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hahaha I thought it was because the site was based out of IL and that there is a time difference between IL and NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
