No........what the time is for the forum.....it was always on the bottom of home page.......has to be a place where it shows the time?


As for time a post was made......it is currently set up to say "one minute ago", "5 minutes ago", until after an hour then it shows the time a post was made.

Maybe this software doesn't allow you to see the "forum time"?

It was always at the bottom of various pages, next to the "Contact Us"/Terms/Privacy/ etc etc.

I guess not. I never noticed that. Get a watch or clock or phone and you'll know.

You will notice that if you have read the newest post (last post) in a thread, it won't show up in the NEW POSTS page.

So once you have read everything on the forum, that page will be blank. :whistle:

Well as of now you can't tell what time zone the forum is in, because the forum is currently set to "1 minute ago", "7 minutes ago", etc etc when you make a post. If you had a time set on the forum we'd all know the time zone we are currently in.

I can't tell when anybody posted anything because one can't see the time when they post. After one hour it shows the time when somebody made the post, but that doesn't help because you don't know when exactly 7:27am is when somebody posted because you can't tell what time zone you are currently set up in.

I'll guess I'll wait 61 minutes after I make this post and then I'll know what time zone my account is set up in.

Note: There is obviously a clock somewhere in this software, it is probably blocked.

Noted!

Now you see why I asked where the clock is.

Of course nothing wrong with the "3 minutes ago" thing, but until one knows for sure what time zone their account is set up in, there is no way of knowing exact time somebody posted something. So as of now you have to wait 61 minutes after you post to know the time.

Bottom line.....if there was a "forum clock" you know the time your account is in because you can check it.
