Forum time off?

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Is it just me or are the times really off on the forum? :help:

OMG it is Y2K! Naa, daylight savings just hosed something up.

[Scott]

It is the right time to me.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

yeah, but somehow I know you didn't just post that at 1:11am :icon_tiphat:

Ok, let me clarify..the time shows correct on the bottom, but time stamps are all screwy.

[AJ.]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I definitely didn't post this at 2:41 AM... I think :lol:

Well hopefully Bjorn will see this and fix it.

It's all that daylight-savings nonsense that screws things up. VBulletin is set to EST and I had to manually turn of DST. If I understand it correctly the US switchted from DST to non-DST yesterday?

Well, that didn't exactly work ..... It suddenly is 6 hours wrong for me now. Sigh.

[SwedBear]

BTW - in your own profile you set up the time-zone you are in and the DST settings. However -it suddenly doesn't work for me. As you noted the time is correct at the bottom of the page but the timestamp in the post is several hours off. I'm looking into it but right now I have no clue what the issue is.

I'm not sure when this happened. I upgraded VBulleting this weekend as a security issue was found in VBulleting 3.8 and they released a minor update for it. I wonder if something was screwed up with that.

Can you guys do me a favour? Check your time-settings in your User CP option and write them here (which time-zone you have set up). also write down the time you write the reply and then after you have written the reply, edit it and post which time-stamp you are seeing in the post.

It seems B3D has gone into the future! :magic: All of our posts have already been posted five hours from now!! :icon_shock:


...Does that even make sense? :lol:

[borschtBomber[SS]]

woah, looks like we upgraded the Delorean version of vB :)

[slugbug]

I wonder if I can see the winning lottery numbers in this strange future :lol:

It still says I posted 6 hours into the future.

[SwedBear]

Yeah I know. I'm trying to disable features in the forum just to see what the heck has happened.

I probably will have to do a clean install soon of the forum (but keep all the posts etc.) so be prepared for the froum being down a bit later today.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

yay, forum is back


and time stamps are fixed!!!

[SwedBear]

Yeah, been working on this almost non-stop 12 hours today. Turned out to be a very odd conflict between OpenAd's and VBulletin where OpenAd's new PHP invocation code would affect the forum time.

I had to uninstall some plugins during my investigation but I will start installing stuff again tomorrow.

[Scott]

Odd.

[sushrukh]

Anyone noticed a forum bug like this ?

[SwedBear]

Good find! Apparently a bug in the plugin. It worked on my "testing"-forum but apparenlty it has problems with some usersnames. I'll turn in off then.

[sushrukh]

Thank you 4 fixing it sir. :icon_tiphat:

[Miker]

Also, the stickys don't stand out like they used to.

[SwedBear]

I've added the add-on that gives them another colour but I also seem to remember a add-on to separate them from the main posts but I haven't found it yet over at Vbulletin.org :). But I'll find it soon or later.
