Is the forum time slow?

It seems to be about 15 minutes behind.

I know this is trivial.

It probably gets its time from the server, and the server's time might be behind. I'll check it out some time.

Install ntp, if you have that kind of access.

If it's already installed, there are several good public NTP servers available. time.apple.com is good, even if you're not using an Apple product (they have no way of telling anyway).

oh, duh. yeah mine was set at GMT -4 hours, which would be taking daylight savings into account. in standard time it should be GMT -5 hours, which is how i've got it set now. thanks for pointing out my stupidity.
