Forum Time-stamp
 

Gerald,

I'm noticing that the "time-stamp" on Forum entries, such as when I last logged on, is not my local time. I thought I remembered from the previous version of the software, that the time entries were my local time. Did I remember this wrong?

I always recall seeing local times everywhere. Anyone else seeing strange times?

Gerald,

Looks like it's 2 hours behind. It's currently 10:35 AM here, but the time-stamp will be 8:35. My computer time is set properly.

John, is that also the time stamp you see on the posts?

Yes, your post is time stamped 8:39 and my current time is 10:48.

Gerald,

I'm currently in the Eastern time zone. So 1 hour of the difference may be because my Profile is set in the Central time zone. An additional hour difference could be because of Day-light savings time. We set our clocks one hour forward in the spring. I don't know how VBulletin sets time, but if it's from the Profile address and if VBulletin doesn't recognize Day-light Savings Time, all the difference would be explained.

I'm going be away from the computer for several hours. See you later.

John, I changed your settings. See http://www.mechmate.com/forums/profi...do=editoptions Hope it is right now?

Gerald, I see it. Thank You.:) Looks good.

Tags have been disabled

The navbar has been copied to the bottom of the thread (replaces the tag box). That has the New Posts, etc.

Gerald,

Okay. I like the NavBar at the bottom. Now direct moving from one new post to another. Thank you very much!!!! I feel like a Captain of an upside down right driving airplane!

I would like to see quick reply tossed but that is me. You can add Quotes added to the toss. Both of those would free up lots of space.

I don't get your issue with quick reply?

There is a box permanently under each thread, which is the reply box I use the most.

And there is a button, bottom right of each post, which just takes you to the aforementioned box.

Gerald,

I guess it is me - my weiredness.

I have a post "replay button" directly below the last thread. This is the button I always use when I replay.

Then there is the new NavBar and then there is the Quick Reply Box and then the <<Previous and Next buttons>>.

I realize now that with the new NavBar, the quick reply box can stay. I never use the quick reply box.

Too much time on my hands.........

Thanks for the new changes, it is nice to have input in the forum.

And I have never used the Previous & Next links - havn't scrolled that far before.

When I type a reply, I like to have the last post visible, and that's why I generally avoid the big Post Reply button bottom left.

Gerald,

You are making forum writing much easier. You gave me my New Posts and now I am starting to use Quick Reply. It is good to try new things.

You make it too easy for users to do quotes. You could stop it easily by removing the option in quick reply.
