I'm guessing it's a daylight saving glitch.

It's been occuring for ages, ive just finally cracked. And hopefully reporting an issue.

Will screen shot the time you wrote, showing on my notifications:

9.40pm?

Oh wow. That's an incredible discrepancy. I can't explain it. It says I made the comment yesterday, October 7, at 9.40pm. I'm wondering if it's a timezone issue. That's about 22 hours behind. I don't think there's anywhere in the world that's that far behind at the moment. I'm trying to figure what's just on the other side of the international date line. Good thinking with the screen shot.

What timezone do you have set in your preferences?

Gosh I'm silly. If it was over 24 hours then the time would be gone. If it's under 24 hours (22) there must be somewhere where the time is correct. I just don't know enough about timezones to figure it out.

The first 2 posts are showing 7:35pm and 7:38pm for me and I'm in Brisbane and it is now 8:13pm.

I've seen similar issue in the past. Timezone is the likely cause.

 

[coles525]

It's nothing to do with a users time settings / phone.

my clocks (watch & phone) are correct time zone (daylight savings EST).

My own replies in this topic arr showing the wrong time.

I would expect it's the settings / zone / clock on the AFF server - website "thing".

 

[oz_mark]

Be that as it may, what Timezone are your AFF browsing preferences set to?

 

[coles525]

Never knew there was a settings option for anything on aff.

Just changed to Syd/mel. From U.S. time.

11.33pm?

Well, I see Perth times 8:33 pm. Which would be 11:33pm "over east" as we say here

In the switch from vBulletin to Xenforo over a year ago, many users lost custom set timezones in Australia, resetting to (UTC-11:00) American Samoa. If you haven't ever changed this setting, you will see posts according to that time zone, but it's all relative of course. Moving forward or backward will not change the order of posts, just how they display to you.
