time.

I just wanted to drop this post to say that the time on your public server might be behind an hour. My phpBB forums are set to -5 GMT (EST) and I live in the EST timezone. My clock reads 8:** while the site reads 7:**. This isn't that big of a problem but it does throw the stats on the forums out of wack.

that could be because of the daylight saving time. I'm also in GMT-5(Lima), and my forum show the curent time.

I'm unsure of the reasoning, but it doesn't sound like that big of a deal. I understand your concerns. It could (as alvaroag said) be because of Daylight Savings Time.

I assume the server that hosts the x10hosting.com site/forums is in the same place as the free server because Corey most likely deals with one data center in one area.

On these forums I set my options to display -5 GMT (EST) time and it shows the time on these forums the same as the time I have on my comp. clock (set to -5 GMT Eastern Time (US & Canada)).

So, the server these forums are on displays the right time, while the public server shows an error of -1 hour.

I think it's an phpBB error. phpBB has not been coded to work with DST, so GMT-5 with DST is the same as GMT-5. This doesn't happens on x10hosting forum because it's under vBulletin, which is better than phpBB.

phpBB2 works off the server's clock. Whatever the server's time is it does the math. So if the public server had the correct time (8:**GMT as of posting this) then the phpBB2 forums would just -5 hours for EST. Thus the clearest explanation is that the public server's time is off by an hour.
