Why are all messages I see time stamped 5 hours ahead? (Off by +5 hrs)

YES! My time zone is set correctly in my profile settings. Eastern Time (NJ - EDST)). When I post this message at 5:35PM the time stamp on the message shows 10:35PM.

Long story short, there are two different time zone settings. One in your PassPort profile, which you have set to EDST and another that's on the site profile, which was set to Western Europe, London, Lisobon, Casablanca. I have changed that setting and hopefully that has corrected the issue for you. Please let me know either way, if it doesn't fix it I'll escalate.

Thanks!

I've logged out, cleared browsing data in Chrome and Firefox and it's still 5 hours off for me. The other MoNa sites are correct as well as my passport login.

OK forwarding on to people with magic powers

Sorry to thread highjack but I have a similar issue with my profile too. In my passport profile i have my time zone set to Pacific standard time GMT -8. But on the site its showing as GMT +1 so all my times are off by 8 hours... i've tried the autodetect DST settings, DST settings always on and always off and i get the same results. Tried clearing my browser cache/cookies and still no go too.

You actually had the same time zone setting as the OP - fixed it, a log out and log back in should have you sorted. Let me know if it doesn't work please. Thanks!

Ok i spoke too soon. After browsing around for 5 minutes by time zone jumped back to GMT +1 again. I tried logging out, clearing cache/cookies and its stuck again. :'(

I'm having the same issue. I'm in the pacific time zone and have that selected in my profile, but all the time stamps are 16 hours behind. I replied to a post at 8:47pm, but it showed 4:47am.

I have written this up properly for our tech team to take a closer look. I have noticed this as well, but it seems to be an intermittent issue.

Thanks for the continued reports! We appreciate it!

I'll do the Test suggested by "Aquila" as well..'cause it's been an issue
for me too, since I created the account on Ac.com: Let's see..which
is the final result: My PC is set up to PET=Pacific Easter Time

like Nevada, WA State,.etc. My current time in the Canada
province, where I reside is: 06:15 PM here it goes.
I'll Signed out and Singned In again-Action >>>

Florida maybe? But Mobile Nations, Android Central's parent company has offices and people in many parts of the world, such as the US, Canada, UK, and India for example.
