What's wrong with the timestamps?

[jedirock]

I've noticed the forum clock is getting faster. Around two weeks ago, I saw the forum was around 11 minutes ahead of actual. Tonight, it's at least 14 minutes ahead. Any idea why it was off in the first place? Also, is there an NTP server that the server uses to keep the time in check? If so, I think it may be time for a change... :thanks:

the forum says it 1:33 but my clock says 8:22, disregarding the time zone shift, the minutes for me look about ~10 minutes fast.

Odd... I'm seeing at least 15 minutes tonight, and my system clock is definitely synchronizing to a time server. So I'm not sure what's up with times right now. I can confirm my iPad has the same time as my laptop though.

Just as a matter of curiosity, are you synchronizing to a time server? If so, which one? I have [0-2].fedora.pool.ntp.org set up right now.

Thanks c0ld. Might create a bit of confusion once the clock jumps, but should help in the future.

my clock's almost 20 minutes ahead. I guess time flies when you are posting!

yeah when the clock goes back a few minutes it might make post go out of order but after it catches up it should be fine i think

 

[jedirock]

Awesome, definitely matched up to my times now. Thanks c0ld, should be easier to read threads now. :thanks:

The issue seems to be cropping up again... I have four clocks here including a cell phone that all say 3:50 or 3:51, but this post will likely show up at 3:54 according to the forum (EDT timezone). Are the servers continually synchronizing, or was it just a one-time thing?
