I just noticed something kind of weird (but not really since we have been fighting this fight for almost a month now).
If you comment in the forums, the time stamps goes in as EDT. Well, except for 2 states, all the US is on Daylight savings time. And on most computers, time is set by an offset from an absolute - UTC (Coordinated Universal time). So 3pm EDT is actually the same as 2pm EST. It just looks different.
Now when commenting (and I gather posting) from JoeUser, the time goes in as EST. And it shows up in the forums as just 2pm (or 3pm or whatever). So I just responded to a post in the forum, it showed up as a little before 3. But then a minute later (or so), I responded on JU to another article, and it showed up at 2pm!
Confusing, but at least now it explains why when I go to recent forum posts, I dont usually see recent articles - they are an hour behind!
Stardock, you have my sympathy on getting all the servers to talk one time! Oy Vey!
