General statistics..post times

[Jeff]

We have a new member (trooper, although he signed up last year) who posted 5x, for the first time between noon and one today and his stats say he posted between 1800 and 1900. Plus the stat times go backward not forward . Just something I noticed as I have got bored with my scalextric and train set

Why don't you integrate your train set and scalextric? It'll give you something to do instead of looking at stats, and will be more fun to boot.

Or you could spray the scalextric track white, and pretend you're driving around outside in the snow.

I'm full of ideas, me. Also, I have increased my post count by 1.

Yeah, this is a general issue I've put to the back of my mind to be honest, there are about 3 levels of "time" involved in the server, and it seems the boards most low level clock is taken from the server, hosted abroad. We then use an offset to set the local time to that of the UK, but users also have their own offset modification. despite a lot of playing I've still not identified which time is used for the stats, and what's more confusing is that the time that YOU see the posting posted at is different to the time that I see it posted at, as it seems to be converted to your own offset.

Confused? I am.

I`m glad you cleared that up
