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...?

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.

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...
