Strange times appearing on forum
« on: June 29, 2011, 11:57:59 PM »
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???
