So I posted this at 5:42 yesterday and at the time it said 5:42. But today it says 6:42 in the thread. However, here in reply preview it’s correct, 5:42.

The reason I was testing it is because thread time stamps seem to show an hour later than reality. And this one does, now.

Or a test to stamp the time post?

In time, I’ll be going to the post to test this stamp.
