I don't watch the posting times, as they are not current to me.  Yes, yours is posted on my pc at 9:22.19 and you state it was 9:22.00 your time, so to me they match.  However, I'm reading this at 4:17pm CST, so looking at those times mean nothing to me, whereas the time of my watch and PC are important and set to my area and are something I make and keep appts by.

Like I stated before, I know when there is new posts because the hyperlink is bold again and there is a "new" flag on the topics.  Then I can just scan down to where the last message was I read and move on from there.  As I understand, that is why those were done that way, because with everyone in different time zones, we can't all have the standard time for DeskDemon servers set to our location.

So based upon your complaints, I should be raising an issue because this is now 4:26pm CST when I'm posting this, but the timestamp on the post will reflect a different time because of a different timezone to me.  I fail to see the critical importance here.  Guess to me it's a small issue and not something to spend so much time being upset about.

No, they do NOT match.  Read my postings again.  After each I have copied and pasted what I am seeing on my screen.  Postings are out by 1 hour - it's there in black and white to see. I  am NOT wrong.

All showing correctly with me and Gee, while you have made a good point about watches, clocks etc you haven't answered Countrigal's point.

Extremely well written and I heartily concur it's a non issue.

What time zone are you in?  Wondering if I can change my settings to match yours (re: time zones) and duplicate your problem.

As I stated, what I see as the date stamp on your post and the time you state you post them, match.  I understand that it is not matching on your screen, so I'm trying to duplicate that.  Since mine never match, I will never be able to do the same thing at my settings.  If I duplicate yours, perhaps that will do it.

My pc is correct, my watch is correct, my mobile phone is correct.  There are no settings I can see/change on DD so it has to be something to do with the website.

It might match were you are and what you see on your screen, but it doesn't where I am.

gee, as advised please take this up with IT at DD?  The mods are unable to deal with this. We hear you, but at the same time, you seem to be the on,y one experiencing this.

Is anyone else noticing a time discrepancy? If so, would You please let us know.

I have Jacqui, I am just responding to postings.

I have been given steps to follow, but for some reason I don't have the options to carry out the steps, so I have sent a further screendump for investigation.

Yes I do seem to be the only one experiencing these issues, but on previous occasions, there were errors on this site which were fixed/resolved which proved they were not something I made up.

I have the evidence.  Screendumps can be provided at any time for anyone to see.
