There appears to be a fourteen hour disparity in the time listed for a forum message as compared to when it was actually posted.

This example describes a message currently appearing at the top of the Forum.

For example, a message is listed as posted today (referring to the message itself) as 03:56:42AM.

However, the message is shown on the Forum as today 05:56:42PM.

Where I am in the United States it is still morning.  That is, the time shown in the Forum has not yet occurred.

I have checked my profile and it shows my "Chihuahua time" is correctly synchronized with my current local time.

Have I got something incorrectly set?

Suggestion for new word inclusion—

glycemia

Glycemia is the presence of glucose in the blood.

Perhaps this might be considered a "technical" term.

Some may know this as a root of the following—

hyperglycemia (the presence of too much sugar in the blood); this may commonly be associated with diabetes

hypoglycemia (the presence of too little sugar in the blood); this may result from too much insulin or a poor diet

For some reason, the "New" tag which identifies new posts in the Forum, is no longer appearing.

This has been a useful feature.

Has this been disabled?

Or is there a setting in my profile which may somehow have been reset so that "New" no longer appears?

A follow up observation to my question:  Now that I have just posted my query here, the "New" tag has reappeared!!!!  Go figure...

briss  is another spelling for—

bris
brith

all of which have the same meaning—

---

briss 

noun 
the Jewish rite of circumcision performed on a male child on the eighth day of his life [syn: Berith]

See Tuesday, November 29th Chinchilla puzzle.

Since bris and brith are already acceptable, should briss also be accepted?

This is something that I just noticed and I'm not sure what may have caused it.  Perhaps one of the cyber glitches that happen from time to time.

I was looking at the times indicated for the latest forum messages and they made no sense to me.

I checked my profile to see if I have the correct offset factor for my time zone (USA, Eastern Daylight Time).  I do have the right factor.

After doing this, I went back to the forum and the odd-appearing times seemed now to be correct.

This is not a major problem, just a funny anomaly that has been corrected.

Also, before the correction the  (NEW)  message indicator did not appear as it usually has.

Hopefully the  (NEW)  message indicator will be restored.

Just posted the message and the  (NEW)  indicator appeared for a message NOT new and did NOT appear for my posting.  Strange.  Also, as I am key-entering this modification, the characters are jumping all over in a bizarre way.  More cyber glitches???

 

Suggested new words for consideration—

(based on Chinchilla puzzle for Monday, April 18th)

salinate  

verb 
add salt to; "salinated solution" [ant: desalinate] 

Reference #1:

Verb 1. salinate - add salt to; "salinated solution"

change - undergo a change; become different in essence; losing one's or its original nature; "She changed completely as she grew older"; "The weather changed last night"
desalinate, desalinise, desalinize, desalt - remove salt from; "desalinate water"

This is the complete reference found.  I am puzzled by the inclusion of the two lines of text which begin:  "change - undergo a change;..." 
These two lines do not make sense in this definition.

I don't think I have ever seen this happen before.

There are two nine-letter words found in this puzzle and both of them appear to be  rare. 

There is one word that I believe would most probably be common.

Your special day is this week.  The day after tomorrow.

I hope your   B I R T H D A Y   is a truly marvelous day filled with wonderful people,  wonderful times,  and splendid treats.
