In my very, very old age, I despise change!! Can someone help me get my time back to eastern daylight time. I have been to preferences for two days in a row and clicked eastern even though it was already highlighted and I am still on pacific time in the threads. Went to John’s thread and his sentence about time was foreign to me as I don’t even know what beta is.

I think all is still running on PDT except for the page where you are reading a thread with post and the ‘my comments or pings page’. That page for me is on my time which is central. Everything else is still PDT for me at this stage and I’ve set my preferences to central.

John was fixing stuff last night but I guess he didn’t get finished.

Based upon the following from John's thread I think it may take a little longer for the time to be completely fixed for all.

I'm also trying something new with regard to time. We will try using your computer's clock to set the time zone. This uses JavaScript, if you don't have JavaScript enabled you'll see "04/08/2008 2:31:48 AM PDT" (etc), but if you do you'll probably see something more like "Tuesday, April 08, 2008 5:31:48 AM" [for an eastern time zone.] I'm leaving it up to your computer to format the time stamp, so your experience may vary. These new time stamps will be extended across the board as I update the hundreds of locations where the time is displayed.
This is what I have on my computer for where you posted to me:

On the latest comment page this is how it shows up for me:

So it's still not uniform across the web site yet..... Patience will help you survive...
