| Over the past couple of months, the forum reply/posting times have gone from indicating 0 minutes to -6 minutes, and perhaps will continue to increase in a negative direction. What is the point of this? If there is a perceived need for more specificity, why not apply that programming to responses submitted over an hour ago, up to a full day? |

I just saw -8 minutes for the first time.
The server sync times just lost another minute. |

OK - I can now see you can delete a post anytime...so much for my computer cred! LOL
It was a good guess? |

Being new here, I was thinking it had to do with the time you could delete a new post? Now I'm gonna watch and see if the time is always the same "-" or different?
Hmmmm? |

How hard is it to set a cron job to sync time with an external server?

Would agree with Melvin. As an IT Manager the clocks should be in sync so that diagnostic work can easily happen. With times being off you have to adjust for that in any log file looking which could make things hard. This would especially be the case if you are looking for fraud problems with credit cards etc taken on the site.
Just another thing that SLS doesn't seem to care about even though they are aware of the problem. SLS management needs to take some time and money and fix many of the issues that are happening. |

I saw -7 minutes yesterday for the first time.
One would surmise over time that the sever clocks would eventually be so far out of whack that there could be issues in the future that would creep up... Server/host crashes, etc. and needing a time stamp to figure out when things happened/when they went wrong. I freely admit that I do not know too much about servers and webhosts, as I am an electronics technician, not a programmer. But professional opinion, I would sync the server clocks. "My two cents." |

just a difference between the clocks on the web server to the clocks on the DB server...
I have not felt setting the clocks was a good use of developer time |
