When i post something at the forum the time i did is displayed wrong.
it is not 3:43, it is 12:51 (or 9 min. to 1 p.m.)
And my time is CET, which i confirmed in my account info...
What's going wrong?
who gives a shit about posting time? maybe you are a time traveller?

You can fix it actually. Since the server is in Spokane, it's clock is set
to Pacific Standard Time. To have all of the times on the site show up
right in your time zone, the server needs to know what your time zone is.
If you don't tell it, it can't know.
Click on "My Account" in the blue navigation bar.
Click on "Change your info"
From the "Timezone Offset" dropdown, select your Timezone
Submit the form
You also need to have the clock on your computer set right. This doesn't
mean set right according to your watch or the kitchen clock, or the radio
man who fucks a model too. The server's time is set with NTP (Network Time
Protocol). It is syncronized with the atomic clock, and with all of the
other computers on the internet that run NTP. It is never wrong. If you
want it to match the time on your computer, then your computer has to be
running NTP as well. Windows 2000 and up (including XP) support this - but
you'll have to look up how to do it. Microsoft doesn't make it that easy.
Mac OS X and linux make it really easy.
Also keep in mind that the cuurent time on any page is the time the page
was requested from the server - not the time it is now
