All classmates who logged on today, including me, show the wrong log on time by four hours too early. Can tech support pls correct. Thank you

That is odd. I am not seeing this issue on my end.

Scott,
I logged on today at 4:15pm ET.
Attached is a screenshot.

I can't open your attachment.

It opens here... Mine looks normal, by the way.

Elana, is the time (and time zone) on your PC correct?

John,
I'm out of town using iPhone.
Earlier today, using iPhone, all the times looked correct. When I logged in this afternoon, the times appeared 4 hr earlier. My email sending/receiving are time stamped correct.
Any suggestions?

I have no idea how an iPhone handles time, although I've noticed that my own phone updates the time as I travel across country. But many web/network/mail applications use Coordinated Universal Time (based on Greenwich Mean Time) in emails or web site pages - which is displayed by your browser or mail client based on the time, time zone, and whether you're on Daylight Savings time, as set in the receiving device. If your iPhone is showing the correct time, I have no explanation for what you're seeing - other than the 4 hours difference suggests that you could be in the Eastern time zone and something thinks you're in the Pacific time zone.

It will be interesting to see if the problem clears up later (or tomorrow).

Thanks, John.
It's a puzzlement. My iPhone shows the correct time. Today's Statistics, What's New and Message Forum originally had the correct time and have suddenly changed to four hours earlier within a few hours. Today I traveled less than 50 miles and have since returned but my current log in time remains four hours earlier (than the correct time). The time I post to this Forum is correct and has been correct throughout today. Will wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Under Admin Functions > Preferences > Time Zone (third item from top), check to see what you have set.

Thanks, Scott. Time Zone has always been set for E.T.
Today the time problem continues to persist on PC, iPhone and iPad.
I'm active with other organizations that have Forums - no time stamp issue except CC. Do other Admin have this problem?

just a test to see time posted

Time here looks good. So it has to be the time zone setting. Is there one for this forum too? Forgot to look.

Correct time has returned to normal - grateful but I don't know why.
Thanks to all for helping out.

Spoke too soon - the time is only correct for What's New. Statistics and Message Forum are still 4 hours behind. (This Forum always shows the correct time.)

Weird. I see it too now. What is interesting, is that I confirmed this on another site too. I am documenting and sending to the programmer.

Thanks for checking, Scott.
We have several classmates in the path of Irma. Some evacuated - others could not. Seeing their accurate log on time would be reassuring,

I do not know when the programmer will have a chance to look, but I will let you know what I find out.

After receiving email from several classmates wondering why folks were commenting at 3am, I emailed the class to notify them the time stamp is 4 hours earlier vs the real time. With so many classmates potentially affected by Irma, it's important to know what time a classmate posts. I would certainly hope your Programmer will look into this glitch sooner rather than later. It's now a weekend. I brought this to CC attention yesterday afternoon. Please let me know how long this will take to fix. Thank you

Elena - your own personal time zone located under Edit Profile, is set to Alaska time. Once you restore that to Eastern, you will be back in business. .... Better yet, I did it for you so you are all set.

Thank you, Scott.
I can assure you that I've never edited my profile to change my personal time zone. One moment all looked fine and soon after the time was not correct. I will check it daily. Is this what occurred on the other site you mentioned?

For the other site, they happened to have their setting to a differnt time zone because that is where they happen to live now. I just had not connected the dots at that point.
