Did it ever occur to you that you're posting from the future?

Somehow wish that were true. If it was I would be looking for an online betting service. Or make a killing on the lotto.

You probably has a wrong timezone set in your user profile for whatever reason. Yes, I can see you posted at 10:15 PM in the forum.

My options -> Edit user option.

I went to my profile and the location says Toronto. And if you are correct why dose your time stamp on your post say July 5? Should it not say the time it was when you posted?

What I see is the time I posted. i.e. July 4.
What you see is governed by your timezone setting. Probably, GMT time. May be you need to restart your browser (assuming your time zone setting is correct).
You may be looking at different entry. My timezone setting is "(GMT -5:00) Easterm Time (US & Canada) ...." and not "Toronto".
You need to look at "Date & Time Option" in "Edit User Options".

As pointed out by me in the "Site Forum Issues" (and dismissed) ... the recent upgrades set the SERVER (and board default) time to "UTC" (i.e. London England time.).
Setting it back to UTC -5 (Eastern Time.) in the site options then click save, then switch your message editor preference to "WYSIWYG" and save, it reverts the time to UTC.
The only solution I've found, is to set your editor to BBCode method and save, then set your time to UTC -4 (because they also killed off the DST settings) and save it.

Congrats on the GC win, btw.

Thanks ... it's a very opportune win... hope it's a giftcard for somewhere like NoFrills or something similar.

You have entered the 4th parallel, congratulations. Feel free to jump out of your window, you will merely transport into a different dimension.
