while posting times in the unreal tournament post i noticed that the actual log times of posts are incorect as it says its GMT on the main forum page, this means that the clocks are out by about 4 hours, cant anything be done about this? or atleast remove the GMT times on the main page...?

No WONDER I had trouble figuring out what time the match was set for... Off as in early or late?

I noticed that, but i never thought too much of it.
LoL but I also use a desktop computer for development that never keeps time and is always way slow. I never took the time to replace the cmos battery.

It don't bother me too much I usually mentally keep track of the date, and the time I just look at the clock on my desk.

lol, how old is the computer, most now recharge that battery when it is switched on....., lol, but anyway, it doesnt bother me that much, might help some people like for example andy working out when UT2k4 is being played lol.

Yes the forum clock is very off. I started a thread calling it into the spotlight a while ago. To get EST for me I have my forum account modded to GMT-2 hours(I think that is still correct.) It is supposed to be GMT-5 hours

.

There is absolutely nothing I can do about the forum clock. It uses the server time and that seems to be incorrect, also the forum does not handle daylight savings time at all...

ohh ok, well just a thought... anyway of removing all times are GMT on the main page then? or this built into the code of the forum uses?

Ive just reset my computer clock to the right time ( ie the only time GMT)

and then I reset the time in my profile to +3 hours GMT and guess what thay match

I CAN TIMETRAVEL I'm at both at GMT and GMT+3
