Forum Time
I have my forum time options set to the correct timezone (for me GMT-8) and it tells me the time is 4:43pm when it is 2:30pm...

Does this happen for anybody else?

It's still 10-20 minutes off

Besides, we pay to post here, it's not hard to change the time.

The problem is that the time is continually drifting. Even if they reset it, it would be inaccurate again soon after.

I'm guessing this is one of those "You have to upgrade the board version to fix the problem" problems?

No, it's a problem with the server's time itself - I've brought this issue up several times in the past.

It also has to do with the fact that this VBulletin board doesn't know what daylight savings time is. You people find the worst things to complain about, instead of offering suggestions on how to improve things that matter like gameplay and things like scripting/ganis/levels, you bring up the fact that the forum time is a little off, which has only been brought up at least 100 other times

Well sometimes i like to know when posts were made, and it's been brought up so many times maybe they should find out what makes it drift off mark hmm?

Who can set the time? It wouldn't be hard for them to fix it once a week would it?...
