Interesting... now that I've changed my time, my posting time on the last one also changed to correct it.  It did say 17:43 when I posted it.

Anyway, for anyone else who wants to change their time, it's under "Look and Layout Preferences".  Just put + or - the number of hours you want to change the clock by, in the "Time Offset" area.

Liz,
Could you please reply with the time on your computer ... my post showed me the right time ...

Sorry Tracy, I missed this yesterday.  Right now, it's 18:43.  But I've since read Pchemist's instructions to change my time, so I will.  I should have also thought of this, since I used to use a forum with the same 'problem'.  But then that was four years ago and I am middle-aged -- memory ain't what it used to be!!  lol

Please ignore my earlier post (sort of) about this in another board on this forum.  While the forum clock does appear not to be showing CDT, it is also true (and I should have remembered since I run a forum using this very same super-cool-free-nifty software) that you can set this under "profile/look and layout" in the sense you can set the offset time to reflect your local time.

click on profile on the menu above and fiddle around.  it's fun! 8)

Hey Liz,
I'm replying to your post to check the time, though it was right on my last post here.  The time according to two clocks is 1939 hrs.
Let's see how it looks ...

The time on posts seems to be in CST, not CDT.  Can that get changed, so we have a more accurate read of how old a post is?  Thanks.   ;D
