It's all gone a bit weird in the bits and bobs thread...

All the cool kids moved to another time zone to fix this problem

My last two posts in the strike thread have disappeared.

Actually, the problem appears to be fixed and all the cool kids should move back to UTC

I never left it - that's probably why.

Yep, still fucked. It will correctly time stamp but posts are still time travelling.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38597

Fuck knows then. I assume Grim... is moving to the new server today.

I'm not entirely sure what effect changing the local client timezone is expected to have on the server posts…

You've clearly never examined PHPBB's source code.

I don't believe it. The time on the forum is an hour out, not everyone has swapped their timezone to fix it, yet there are no problems.

No, no -- I mean, Trooper is assuming PHPBB does sensible things (e.g. not relying on a user's timezone setting for post ordering). It doesn't, it's a horror show under the bonnet. It wouldn't surprise me if it does use the timezone setting in unexpected ways.

I was on UTC-1 to get the correct time.
The forum time is now correct.
I moved back to UTC.

Pish and piffle. That would mean that our overseas cousins would be seeing this problem everyday.

So Grim... fixed the time on the forum, which caused it to go back in time an hour, that makes sense then

No, time tried to fix itself.
I've set up the new server, but I don't know when I'm going to migrate Beex.

I have taken control of your time stream, puny human mortals.

Prepare for the new age. Your computer overlords now control the very fabric of the universe. Obey.

I did once, but it made things worse so I fixed it back.

By the way, I refuse to believe that the settings in your profile have anything to do with what you see on the board. This problem will be occuring for everybody.

Nah, it's any thread that has been posted to in the past hour. All should be fine from now on, but the past is fucked forever, just like real life <sniff>

Warning! A temporal anomaly is forming in the vicinity of this thread and will be travelling backwards in the time stream for up to -24hrs. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

For those of you travelling on a linear time stream... sucks to be you.
