Problem with posting order in threads
 

Hello all,

I'm experiencing a new problem with my bulletin board today for the first time. I now have two instances of this problem. What is happening is that a user is posting and it is posting with a date of "yesterday".

In the second case it did "yesterday" and what appears to be an opposite time and it also did today and an opposite time. For example if they posted today at 10:29AM, the post is showing up as Yesterday at 10:29PM.

Here is one of the examples of this problem, just wrong "yesterday":

Here is the example of this problem with the date and time switching:
http://www.projectdibs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=310

You can see it went from "Yesterday, 07:49AM", to "Yesterday, 10:49PM", to "Yesterday, 10:52PM" to "Today, 12:06AM"

When in fact everything was posted "Today" at 07:49AM, Today at 10:49AM, Today at 10:52AM and Today at 12:06PM.

Two questions:

1. Why is this happening and how do I stop/prevent it?

2. What can I do to fix the threads (I don't want to delete the posts, just change the date and time)?

FYI...I switched the forum Date/Time options to remove the "Today" and "Yesterday" and actually show the date the forum thinks it was posted (which is still wrong, especially in the second example)

vb gets it's time from the server, looks like maybe the server is having a time fit.

ATM it says "All times are GMT -6. The time now is 02:06 PM". which is correct, but some of those posts are dated tomorrow !

Thanks Paul, you were correct! It was a server problem and after my provider was contacted it was set to the proper time and things are gellin' now!

I have a few posts that now have incorrect time stamps, but I'm not going to go to the trouble of fixing them.

Cheers,

Brian

Hopefully this is my problem too. I've sent an email to my webhosting company support.

I have a similar problem, however I've checked with the webhost and the server timing's correct.

If you go to : http://forum.bravofleet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=10

and see the TF58 area, last post was made by HenrikH, however if you go to the actual thread, last post has been made by another user. Can anyone enlighten me as to why I could be having this problem? I think it's something with the database, but I can't be sure and I'm wondering if anyone else has ran across a similar situation before and can help me.

Edit: also it's not letting me rebuild the post cache. Gives me an invalid SQL on one of the posts that it's processing.

I'm wodnering if the two are related somehow.

ALso, when searching the forums: can anyone help, please? I'm not entirely sure what the problem is here.

Thanks.

oh thank god im not the only one

MeMyselfNi, how was the problem corrected? by itself?

also anyone know if there are tools out there that can let you change the dates/times on posts/threads in one go, instead of doing it one by one with the Advanced Edit Hack?
