Site is suddenly an hour back

Post by Captain Picard's Hair »

There was a brief outage yesterday morning of DITL, and ever since it came back the forum time has been about an hour behind; this isn't the usual forum time thing that's been remarked on before due to it's sudden appearance and difference of about exactly an hour on the dot. It's now a 10:39 PM Eastern time (New York) but the forum reads 9:39
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wonderous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross... but it's not for the timid." Q, Q Who

Wha... I had a brief blackout yesterday morning, and when I woke up, it was an hour earlier! I didn't tell anyone because I thought no one would believe me. It must be related. :shock:


















j/k ;)

Perhaps the server is anticipating daylight savings time...

Bah, bloody DST. Though it hasn't come into effect yet, right?

EDIT: Posted at 2:00 PM. DITL reads 1:00PM. Houston, we have a problem.

We're on DST at the moment, the problem might be that the forum thinks that we've gone back to GMT (or local equivalent). Certainly the fact that it's precisely an hour out points that way.

Well Hayward, San Fransisco we have a problem. That's where the servers are. Funny though, we have a system in work that is hosted in Huston, TX. anyway I've reported the issue.
