h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There appears to be a forum update problem. All postings for some reason say "Just Now", even when you come back to them after half an hour.

It's just a wild guess but I think you'll find that the problem was caused by the new servers clocks being set 1 hour ahead & then reset back to the correct GMT - that means that there are some forums that were posted in the future while the clocks were 1 hour ahead (like the other forum on this page that is listed as posted at 13.40 even though it isn't 13.40 yet

Bruce is indeed correct

Sean.

Guess I'd better frame this one then.

Can't we keep the feature for posting in the future?

Do you mean
In the future, we'd like the posting feature

or

In the future, the future posting feature should be retained.

??

Neither: I just thought it cool to be able to post to a future date. Speaking of which, relative to me you are at a future and soon to be commencing the birthday celebrations.

Indeed I am in the future - though it's still the 27th here - coming up to 10:30pm

1. The clock is currently saying that entries, journal postings and forum entries are created a hour before they actually are. Are you running the servers in a temporal warp or something or am I just going strange?

2. Several formatting features of GuideML no longer want to work (namely SHADOW and EMBED in the PICTURE tag).

3. These new forum thingies don't do the job properly, as they are annoying in long forums like the Esirpretne, Donut Stall and undoubtedly every single other forum. The forums in my opinion were better like they were, and I'm betting that this isn't only in my opinion

The SHADOW attribute on the PICTURE tag was intentionally removed & the EMBED attribute seems to work fine here http://www.h2g2.com/A184961

I believe the main impetus for the changes to the forum display was the large number of users who were complaining that long forums were crashing their browser/'puter

hope it helps
