I suspect that TOTV doesn't self-adjust to whatever time zone you happen to be located in when you're not logged in. When you are logged in, it goes by what you have set up for your User CP options.

Did you go to your User CP and see if you settings under Date & Time Options are set to GMT -5 and the DST Correction Option set to "Automatically Detect DST Settings"? If not, do so!

Servers can be running backup routines, rebooting, had a small power outage or any of a number of things. All of those can "distract" it for a bit. Unless it happens again, life is probaby good. (Gee I'm starting to sound like you guys...don't worry, be happy) Perhaps I should change my screen name to Bobby McFerrin.


[What a riot. I tried to post this and got the same message!!!]

I miss the old Windows message: "You have performed an illegal operation and will be shot down." OK, it said shut down, not shot.

... but only because I didn't write the script.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to mention this but I would like to remove my original post so people won't waste time on them. I cannot figure out how to do that.

For a limited amount of time you can go back to your post and click the edit button. If the edit window shows up you can then erase your message but you can't completely delete the post. Some put three periods in place of what they originally had posted.

If you don't get the edit window, then it's too late to make any changes. If you have sensitive information you want out of those older posts, contact Admin for assistance.

Hope this helps and.. welcome to TOTV!

p.s. don't worry about this being in the wrong place, especially with your being new. If the Admin or Mods want it moved, they'll take care of it and let you know!

I like the atmosphere here these days and the diplomacy of the owners. "old" people are returning. I love TOTV.

How many of you are there? A gazillion?
