Hello
Messages posted in e-democracy.org/mpls today are displaying
tommorrow's date instead of todays...December 16, 2006
and a wide variety of times, which are also incorrect.
Who's been watching Back to the Future?

Hmm.... someone reported the same thing in the St. Paul Issues Forum:
http://forums.e-democracy.org/topic/100019
Actually, we moved our site to a new server early this week and still
have a few kinks to work out. I'll check into this one. Our host is
based in New Zealand, where it is already tomorrow! This creates for
confusion, when I schedule a conference call with them and then show
up a day late.
:-(
We'll get this fixed ASAP.
Thanks,

This problem has popped up again.
A couple of people have contacted me to report that the time & date stamp on
posts to our forums appear up to 24 ahead of what one might expect them to be.
While, we've run into this problem before and been able to fix it pretty
quickly, this time its trickier. Due to a change in how we've structured our
site, its harder (but not impossible) to keep track of all the various time
zones that are participants are in. We will soon have forums in New Zealand,
the UK, and the United States.
We are planning to address this problem. BUT - the fix is going to take a
significant amount of work, so I'm asking for your patience on this one.
As a short term solution, we might change the display for recent posts to
something like:
posted 3 hours ago
posted 2 days ago
Instead of indicating the exact date and time it was posted. Once posts are
over 7 days old, we could use the DATE stamp and it would be less confusing to
people.
How big of a deal is this to participants?
Any comments?
