It's about ... the clock (mouser)
barney:
Mouser,
I'm in CST, currently at ~2230 hours.
From your post:
Gadget Fridays
« on: Today at 15:09:37 »
...
The first Gadget Friday starts in 3 hours!
(remember, you can't post on any other day except when forum time, in upper-right corner of page, says it's a Friday).

If it starts in three (3) hours, then your clock should be showing something like 2100 hours. However, the forum clock shows this entry at 15:09:37, last edit at 15:41:51 hours, or close on to 1600 hours (4 PM). There's a dichotomy 'tween your statement and that timestamp. I'm [more than usually] confused.
Wouldn't have brought it up, except that this has been bugging me for a while. Is that timestamp local to the server's location, to my profile, or ...?
If it's tied to my profile, then the timestamp on this should be ~2250.
Edit:
Time stamp is GMT, not GMT-6 as specified in my profile. The date shows according to my profile specs, and the Current forum time: displays correctly while I'm in my profile, but reverts to GMT (UTC?) when I exit.
2nd edit:
Actually, that's wrong. The timestamp on the post shows GMT+6. Now I'm really confused.
Renegade:
Check your settings in your profile. That could be it.
barney:
Reread the post, Renegade :P :P :P.

Ooops.
You sure? I had my timezone set long ago when I lived in a different one. Updated it - it's fine now.
Try refreshing.
ED.
It's working fine here. The forum time is right there - which is the SERVER time, and not MY time.
Also, make sure to adjust for DST if you need to.
Stoic Joker:
Hm... the offset appears to be from server time, not (the assumed usual) GMT. While my board time is correct I'm only using an offset of 1. I'm EST(/DST) vs. the server's local CST (e.g. +1 off). But normally I should be using GMT -5 to get the correct time.
