| 541561 | 2007-04-16 17:06:00 | During the time-envelop for an edit of a post, does the clock stop while I have open the window I am editing? If I don't immediately go back and edit the post, I can understand a time factor, but if I actually am in the process of editing, is the clock still running? And...how much time do I have in either case? |

If you don't save your editing within the 15 minutes, then it doesn't accept it eg, click edit at 14 minutes but try and save it at 16 minutes. From your previous comments, I believe you hammer any cookies from this site. This *could* be interfering with your edit time frame if you are having problems. |

No...not really any problem...just wanted to see where I stand in the time loop...I can always double post.....:blush: And "hammer" is a bit harsh...but ok too...I really let cookies stay until they expire...except for the ads. (pssst!...If I let them stay, can I get more edit time?) I was thinking that if one had the window open to edit, the clock would stop...but alas!. |

Edit: Correction - only 7-8 minutes. Well, no. That is only so if you are logged in. If you arrive here as a guest, then the clock is still registering daylight saving time, ie GMT +13 hours. (At least it does on my computer). It never ceases to amaze me that "they" whoever "they" are, can't ever get it right, there are enough time servers around to keep synchronised to. |

It's good to know that I am not the only one (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) who would like the forum clock to be on time. It's also weird how it's still on DST when one is logged out as I'm sure it never used to be like that. :confused: |

(Niggle, niggle, niggle every so often. Result usually a resounding thud) Remember the delight when it finally came right only a few weeks ago? Your post in red? And what a piffling time that lasted... I still find it ludicrous that a website which can do "fancy stuff" can't keep a clock right. And until I hear a logical reason why it can't do what even I can keep straight on my comp, I'll stick with my vision of bits wound up with a large rubber band. And as it's obviously slipping, it's time someone gave it a few more twists. Or changed from a blue one to a red one. Or whatever it takes... |

Be original - have a time shared by no-one else in the world - a time as unique as a fingerprint. Dare to be different. Support creative timekeeping. But get Dumb Terminal back where it belongs. (Please) |

| 541570 | 2007-04-17 12:45:00 | I expect you to provide the creativity, originality & flair, R2x1. This clock has no redeeming features. (Well, I suppose it could be slightly worse - if it talked) |
