10/26/04 - time/date stamps
« on: October 26, 2004, 12:01:24 PM »
It is now 10/26/04, 8:50 AM EDST.
Usually, I believe the time-date stamps on posts are in Eastern Time zone hours.
This morning I have seen several posts/replies with 10/26/04 (today's date), but with time stamps,like "1:00 PM", "3:05 PM" time stamps on them, which is well after the current time.

What's going on here?
(or did a miss a day in my life, yet again? )

So, the webserver is 13 hours ahead of us?  Where does that make it Russia?  Siberia?

Maybe the webmaster has outsourced everything.  That would explain the somewhat uneven... quality.

The "latest posts" link doesn't work because of this too.
4:00 PM EDST.
MI 2 AZ's and seadrive's post should be ahead of mine it seems the server clock is going forwards and backwards.

No, the timestamps are based on the web server's clock, not the poster's.

if the site were load balanced between 2+ web servers lets say, what if those servers were not setup with the same time?

or would it just use the sql servers date/time whilst inserting the records ?
Still, the sql server can be load balanced/clustered too.
