The forum clock is quite weird for me.

For example, the time stamp of this post shows 12:16 PM while the computer clock and my telephone clock tell me it's around 01:08 PM. So the clock is about 50 minutes late.

What's the problem? And, am I the only one?

Question The time is out of joint!

I think the calendar is broken. It seems to show December 2006, but not January 2007. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention because, well, we all need to know when Birthdays are coming up.

Don't know what's going on with the clock, but you should be able to view January 2007 now.

I right-click on the rep icon and open it in a new tab/window and that seems to work, Elmo.

That sounds weird. If the problem would be one hour, two hours or anything like that it might be like Alkanoonion suggested. But 52 minutes is odd. Although I checked mine and it was two minutes off... So maybe 8 minutes off and the daylight savings not clicked?

But how to mend that?

Until about 5 minutes ago, my clock was off by 32 minutes. Now it's off by 3 minutes. I'd never had that problem until today and haven't changed any settings. Very strange.

Tolkien Internet is making me young again!

Thinlómien you are not the only one. I too am having "time trouble", it was like that lst night with me, and the early morning of today. Though I must say I was quite enjoying being 52 minutes younger!

Now it seems to be 19 minutes off the track.

So there is something wrong there, moving forwards and backwards, definitively...

Can something be done to it?

The clock here is off by roughly 20 minutes....I thought it was my computer clock that was wrong and there was no rush to get ready for work. Then I checked my cell phone and I realized there was a rush!

Ah, I thought there was something strange going on last night when I checked Who's Online and noticed no member had been active for the last half hour. The BD clock reads 4:49pm, when in fact it is 5:12.
