I am not the admin but would like to give them some direction when I bring this up to them.

When someone replies it sometimes puts their post above the post they are replying to. In my case the post will have a time stamp of 4 hours ahead of my current time I can see three hours because the server is three time zones away but why 4 hours? What suggestions do you have I can give the admin to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

can you give us an example to look at, what you are saying doesn't normally happen, all post times are server related, it doesn't make any difference what your time is.

Sure here is an example:
http://www.mcnews.com/anforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=92222&whichpage=3

You will see the post by hoopdc is time stamped like this:
Posted - 04/23/2005 : 08:32:10
You see the reply by myself, torqueman is stamped:
Posted - 04/23/2005 : 08:13:11

But yet I clearly quoted hoopdc in my post so it could not have happened 19minutes before his. This is happening often. In the forum we have dubbed it the Groundhog Day effect.

The only explanation would be that the time on the server was changed between hoopdc making a post and you making the reply

Thanks for the reply.
Check this out and you will see it happened twice in about one hour between me and Mongoboy.

I thought like you did that someone changed the time but it seems to consistently stamp the time 4 hours behind my real time. Almost like my user logs into a server with a different time than the other people do. It is not just my user. This happens with Cherrie and other users too.

By the way I don't know what plugins they are running but from some timeout error messages I have seen I believe MySQL is the database engine.

Maybe I should say this differently. My post are always time stamped one hour behind most other users. I created a second user ID and still have the same issue.

have any of the date/time functions been changed in the Snitz code ? as I said above, times are not related to users they relate to the server, so one user can not have a different time to anyone else

Not that I know of. I can duplicate it anytime I want. I just need to look for someone who has posted in the last hour whos time stamp is correct. If I reply I will be out of order. I have come to the conclusion that there are a hand full of users that are just one hour off from the rest.

Is it possiable there are two http servers sharing one database and one of the servers has the wong time?

Thanks for the help Huw. I have sent the admin email.

I found a user who had the problem a while ago but does not have it now so that lends to the theory that it is not user specific.
