    Time Warped?

    Just a quick question. On my comp all the times displayed on the UCP forums seem to have mysteriously leaped on an hour. I only just noticed it so can't have been doing it for long. My comp is otherwise running fine, and I've checked all the other forums I use (some of them VBulletin also) and they all seem fine.

    So, is it just me that's having this strange little problem, or has Wouter secretly developed some sort of time travel function enabling us to see into the future?

    Your thoughts please gentlemen.



    BTW this is not some half-assed, belated April Fool.

    i've noticed the same, your post says it was posted at 1.28pm when it is only 12.30pm. some sort of wierd daylight savings scheme?

    edit: i'm getting the same on some other vBulletin forums

    I guess it might be a general vBulletin glitch.

    However, until I see conclusive evidence to the contrary I'm convinced that UCP has caused a rupture in the space-time continuum. I can just imagine UCP's new tagline: "Ultimatecarpage.com - The cars of the future, today!"

    "the 6 o'clock news at 5 o'clock!" would make more sense

    For some reason the board has applied an extra hour to GMT. How odd.

    No, it's not DST, my profile is set to never have it on and and it's saying that GMT +8 is an hour ahead of where it should be.

    This is interesting..........vBulletin itself is probably in the future so that's why it changed so early.

    No DST in Q'land, and as us southerners used to say when we ventured north through the border .. set your clocks back 1 hour & your mindset back 20 years
