Why is the time on DU posts 4 hours ahead of my computer?

[Paper Roses]

It is now 3:58 and posts are clocking at 7:58. I noticed it before and have looked for the answer. Anyone know? I am on the east coast.

Hi, time zone is set at Eastern. I just had it syncronized w/Windows.

Strange! The zone and time are correct on my machine, just times posted are wrong. Your post reads 8:02PM.

5. Hi. Your PC's time zone?

Or DU's time zone?

It's the time zone in your user preferences for this forum (selected through the Options icon at the top of this page) I'm talking about.

8. OOps, my PC time zone is OK, I really did not know about the DU

time zone.I just changed it. Thanks for letting me know there was a difference. It was so long ago that I checked that info that I forgot about it.

I know, I'm computer illiterate. Thanks everyone.

As someone suggested, check in options to make sure you clicked the right time zone.

7. Check to see if your mother board has the XC59 Time Travel chip.

If it does, you can change your options to get tomorrow's lotto numbers today.

9. I need sympathy, This old lady does the best she can!

Are the lotto numbers guaranteed? I need a winning number--better yet, I need to buy a ticket someday.
