Just wanted to let you know, I edited a message today, and it said it was edited on Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 at 9:04 pm.

Now, I know there's a time difference between Iceland and Canada, but that's RIDICULOUS!!   

Even when the day is correct, the time is always quite a few hours out. Is there some way we can adjust our profiles so the correct time is shown? Or is this feature still on your 'to do' list?   

Edited to add: the time and date the message editor posted is actually my JOIN date!

 Sunsilver, it appears the time stamp is the time you first signed up, not the time you make a post.

Get your specs on girl... it's the date and time you joined the board and it's been like that for as long as I've been a member... unless you edit pretty quickly... then nothing shows!

Gotcha. Just  never noticed it before!

Edited to add: did I mention I'm supposed to leave for a 3 day service dog conference today? And Ranger, my service dog STILL has the Hershey squirts this morning?

Poor thing, back to boiled chicken & rice for you!......I always figured the time difference was whatever time the message went through the database in Iceland, or that the PDB used the time in Germany, or Europe somewhere. I know there's a place in Europe that's the '0' for time.....I can't express it correctly, having a total brain fart..damn old age! I'm sure someone knows what I'm trying to say....Anyway, it's where a lot of international clocks are set to......? Anybody? jh

It's the meridian of longitude that passes through Greenwich, England, and the time there is referred to as GMT - Greenwich Mean Time.

BTW, Greenwich is pronounced Gren-itch. Just one of those little English peculiarities, like 'wooster' sauce! (Worchestershire sauce)

And, yup, the vet says to fast Ranger for 24-48 h. then start chicken and rice. There was a lot of blood in his diarrhea this morning, but the vet said not to worry, as he's not feverish, and has normal energy and appetite. Every time the vet opened a package, Ranger would watch him expectantly, hoping for some food!

Yeah,  I have the server set to GMT+0,  since I get equal traffic from the west and from the east (Asia -> America and Europe -> Asia)  So GMT+0 was the choice of reference.

It's been on my to-do list for about 3 years to figure out how to "gather" the visitors timezone and convert my GMT+o datestamps to their dates.  

It probably sounds like a small issue but programatically its big, its one of those things that I will do "when I have alot of spare time",  still waiting fo that moment.

Sunsilver,

It may be pronounced "wooster" in Canada, but in the USA, it is pronounced, Worse-te-sheer sauce.   Or, in the South, "what's this here, sauce"?

by beetree on 30 April 2009 - 22:04

LMAO! Very funny Mystere!
