Anyone else know that notice that the dates & times have been funny lately? I've noticed in the TTT forum that, well you know how it order the threads with the most recent posts are at top. Well I've found a couple of mine at top as though I had recently posted it even though it was a day ago and it'll say posted today at 1.10pm when really it was yesterday at 9am or something like that. And the thread has been pushed to the top over something I really have just posted (apparently I've also occasionally been posting in my sleep lol) yet when you open the actual post it has the correct time listed. And I haven't changed the GMT adjustment thingy or anything like that..

Not a problem. I just thought it was weird. I've never noticed it before yesterday. In the TTT forum it's done it to a few threads and a couple of times to a single thread. Really not a problem its just my curious mind at work which was wondering what was going on. Illu/Fatty/Elendur have an idea?

Is it the case that a moderator may have changed something in the thread which registers somewhere as a date change which effects the thread order but doesn't get registered on the post that has been changed? Only thing I could think of at the moment :grin:

well youre probably seeing polls. when someone votes in a poll, the time changes but not the name of the last poster and the thread goes to the top.

editing posts doesnt change the time :)

Sometimes I see posts that I know were posted 'yesterday' and sometimes the day before and yet it says that it was posted 'Today'.....*scratches head*
