Dodgy Qantas computer system :)

Hey there all,
just wondering what to make of this. I just cannot understand how something can appear today 28th Feb (it was not there yesterday as I hadn't flown!!) with a date of 26th Feb for flights done on 27th Feb.

It is meaningless to me in the sense that the "date" does not affect me in any way. But how can such an error occur?

Putting my professional IT hat on, I suspect it has to do with you departing on your BNE-xSYD-SCL journey on 26th Feb SCL time and that being where you are.

Yet GRU-SCL on 13 Feb posts on the 14th?

I think the answer to juddles' question is in the thread title.

That page is actually dynamic based on your computer's configured timezone. Your computer must be on South America time.

If you change your computer's clock to Sydney time, and refresh the page, you will see the dates change to what they really should be.

madrooster, I have no idea what "dynamic" means in that context, but I did what you said, and lo and behold, the dates now show 27th!!

In that case I give a grovelling apology to IT for my post above!

It means it shows the date of posting as whatever day it was based on the timezone your computer is in at the time you log in to check it. Tuesday 27 Feb in Australia is Monday 26 Feb in Chile.
