Oddly enough, the time displays correctly on the posts. So the threads will have posts at (in order, for example): "1:30p, 1:35p, 1:36p, 1:32p, 1:38p, 1:40p".

Hmm. Suppose I start a post at 1:32 but complete it after 1:36. Meanwhile, others post shorter comments from 1:31 - 1:35 and complete them before I'm done.

I wonder if that would effect it? For threads with a lot of rapid posting this might explain it...

Here is the thread i was talking about
lundqvist new response equipment (pic)
I was the second person to open the thread, first to post, a few minutes later i came back and there are two posts above the original post with the picture in question. I think were at the nexxus of the universe!

In my case, I read the other posts before hand. Then posted, didn't see my post and scrolled up to find it. So it was just a fluke. Take this thread for example:

lundqvist new response equipment (pic)

That one confused me until I realized the actual thread starting post was the 3rd one in the string

Jinx, ya owe me a beer!

The server is about 30 minutes fast now. Anyway to fix this?

If it's running on Linux, then edit ntp.conf to point to an ntp server. See Clock Synchronization with NTP .

If it's running on Windows, then having Windows NTP client on won't help you; that thing is unreliable. (I don't know why, by the Windows 2003 servers at work don't keep proper time using the built-in Windows ntp client.) Instead, Google "Meinberg ntp client" and install that. Run the installer, follow all the defaults, point it to a nearby ntp server.

To find your local ntp server, either ask your ISP, who should be running one, or visit NTPPoolServers < Servers < NTP and drill down to your location.

If it's running on OS X Server, then open System Preferences, click Date & Time, click Date & Time (yes, I meant that), check "Set date & time automatically" and use any ntp server, either your ISP's, one from the list I gave, or Apple's which is already in the list. (I've checked Apple's; it works.)

I have brought this up a few times over the past few months. I know sean has corrected it a couple of times but time just marches on a little faster around here.

Maybe we could start a drive for some quartz?

Quarts of beer maybe.
