The time that you see on the board is determined by where you are at. Your time settings may be wrong and can be changed in your User CP, in the Edit Options area under the Date & Time Options.
Actually I take that back, I'm not set in the correct time zone either- for some reason I had to set my time zone to GMT (+0) instead of EST (+5) to get it to read correctly. So the server needs some attention there too.
Someone goes to all the effort to create this forum for site improvements, then when someone makes a suggestion for an improvement, they are ridiculed by the administrator.
Neat concept.
The reason for my suggestion is that it is useful to know how long ago a post was put up- if it was 5 minutes or 20 minutes can change how I want to respond.
