Forum is so fast, it shows future posts

  • Thread starter Borek
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about a forum user who clicked on the bell icon to see notifications and noticed that the timestamps on the forum seemed to be indicating that they had traveled into the future. Another user warns them about the consequences of time travel and they discuss the possibility of the forum accounting for time zone differences. The issue of the timestamps being incorrect is brought up again and one user plans to report it to the forum developers.

It was obviously you who traveled into the future according to the "marked" timestamps, not the forum.

Ok., you can do this. Obviously. It is your choice. But I have to warn you to publish that again. It would earn you serious consequences since traveling faster than light is impossible. Just wanted to let you know before your next trip into the future. :cool:

Just guessing, forum is programmed to account for time zone differences?

I've seen it sometimes, I think when I go back to a page that I loaded hours earlier and don't refresh it.

That would produce 1h difference at most (and yes, in many places that's a problem, especially during the transition between winter/summer time, as in different places they occur in different moments).
