Since UER gets its timestamps clientside, if you set the date on your computer incorrectly, UER gets REALLY messed up with its timestamps! Just posting it for the lulz, try not to break UER!

On my Mac just now after I did a reinstall the clock was set to 1970 and all of the posts showed up relative to that date...so a post from 2005 shows ups as being 1966! I dunno...

Oh, so only you see the change - I was confused about what you meant.

Well, I wasn't 100% sure at the time of my original post, but yes, it seems that is the case.

I'm kind of a time geek. Craig, on your new linux box, here's another idea. Run a time server that constantly syncs with some atomic clock timer servers. Then all the windows/mac machines in your house can set their windows clocks off of the time server which would be accurate to the second.

http://www.linuxho...4_:_The_NTP_Server

Then you go set the VCR, oven, coffee pot, alarm clock, watch, etc to the time. Having the whole house synced is pretty nice.
