I'm frustrated as my time always comes up CT, but I live in the ET zone. I can't find where to adjust the time in the RO menu.

Am I a Luddite and have missed where to do this, or is the time zone thing just permenently set to CT ?

HELP !

Thank you

Jay
 
CT: Connecticut= eastern time. What's the problem?

Les still operates his life off of GMT Zulu time. I'm not going to piss him off by asking him to change...
 
Central time is what I see (CT).... CT being the abbreviation for time zone, not the state. That is the issue. I, like you, live in the ET (eastern) time zone. My machine displaye Ct, which is one hour off.
 
I think you need to go into your "Control Panel" and change the time on your computer.

I was being a smart-*ss. I've reported the problem before and everytime Les fixes it, the host reverts...
 
Is CT central standard time or central daylight time? While you are resetting the clock you may need to investigate your Spell Check. Just saying.
 
Definitions. CT = central time = central standard time = CST. CDT means central daylight time = CDT.
 
I would like to see 12 hour time. "17:15:18" doesn't mean much to me.
 
Maybe the servers for BE are located in the Central Time Zone. That is the time that gets attached to the message, and the person posting can not control that. Think of it this way, if you post something from Connecticut at 10 AM and a person on the west coast answers it an hour later - 8 AM his time the thread would have his post before yours. The time needs to be standard or everyone gets messed up. Then again maybe I am wrong... :--)))
 
I've noticed a bunch of times, like a few minutes ago, that BE posted time is displayed 1 hr less (earlier, in 24 hr format) than actual local time here in the Northeast (ET)
 
My preference is for UTC, 24hr format... :)

But in practice, it matters little. It is "server time", not "your time". Does it really matter if my post is time stamped 04:32 or 03:32?
