Okay, now it's 46 minutes.

What's happening?!?

Farael · 12-13-2006, 10:30 AM

Now that you mention it... the clock here seems to be 52 minutes off the mark. I wouldn't mention it, but someone else had had the same difference, so it's quite interesting. Perhaps the "main" clock, from where the BD calculates the time for the time-stamps is having some problems? I'm guessing that'd have nothing to do with the 'downs itself but rather some Internet glitch.

Edit: As I posted this, the difference between the actual time and the BD clock was reduced to 10 minutes. Odd, huh?

Probably the server where the forum resides has a problem with its clock. I'll send tech support a note if the problem persists.

*EDIT* Shows as 15 minutes early for me. Weird.

Just want to see if it's happening with me...

EDIT Yep, 16 minutes slow. That really is weird. Why would the clock be out of calibration by a different amount for different people?? If there's something screwy with the server then it would apply uniformly, would it not?

I'm not sure it is. It seems like the difference is just changing all the time. For me the clock is 45 minutes too early right now and the last time I looked yesterday it was 23.

The world is steering into chaos!

Perhaps the problem has been fixed. The clock is only off one minute for me now...

EDIT: Wait a minute...now it's just right on. (Pun not intended)

Thinlómien · 12-15-2006, 01:18 AM

It's still 40 minutes late for me.
