OK, that worked, except to make it work I had to claim to be 2 hours offset from CT time - thought Connecticut was in the Eastern timezone, not Central?

Here in the Pacific Time Zone, I am in reality 3 hours offset (um - I thought?) but that gives an incorrect result in the timestamps. Anybody else have this difficulty, or know what gives?

CT=Central Time. The SDMB is located in Chicago.

Think you’ve got problems? I have to work with a 19 hour difference AHEAD of CT.

Still, what the hey …
