The boards' clock is out of sync.

Yes, I know this issue regularly comes up…

I submitted a post at 1:40 pm, my local time. I tried to edit it three minutes later, at 1:43. I got the pop-up window that told me I exceeded the five minute window for editing. I decided to check the time display at the bottom of the page. It said the time was 1:38 pm, or two minutes before I composed my post. And the timestamp on my post was 1:40 pm. If the clock were accurate, I never would have flagged the five minute limit.

I know I could ask a moderator to edit my post, but it wasn’t worth it, and I didn’t want to double post, either. I just though I’d vent.

Now, paradoxically, the clock on the bottom coincides with the time I made this thread. So, maybe I’m just bonkers. If so, never mind.

And I just spotted the problem. If I refresh the page, the time at the bottom corrects itself.
