Clock

[bud43]

Why is SA's clock so out of synchronicity with local time? It is two hours off from East Coast time on the forum, but my entries show I entered at about 2 PM yesterday and are refused (in the 24's) at 3PM today. Very confusing.

Set the clock on your computer by the official US time ( http://www.time.gov/ ) and use that as the reference time to enter the 24 hr sweeps.

Thanks for your advice Curmudgeon.

I remember from past discussions, and searching the forum, that the clock for Sweeps Check is set to Central Time and you cannot change that setting.

(You can set a clock to your local time via your profile, but that clock shows the time of Forum entries, not Sweeps Check.)

Curmudgeon gave you good advice.

The time stamp on my Daily sweeps seems to be off. If I enter around 6:00 am, EST, it time stamps 9:00 am. The time stamp on the other categories will be 5:00 am.

Why would the times be off like that?


Thanks

The program default is set to Central time for everyone. Other sites features can be adjusted, but that program will always show Central.

Thanks for your efforts ARRTUP. I appreciate your rooting this problem out.
