that can be fixed in your profile, under the date/time setting. It is different for everyone, depending on your time zone :thumb:

a new look for the forums, the functionality will still be the same. Then the outer shell of the site will be soon to follow.

I hate waiting for surprises. Any screen shots? :?

edit: so you're just changing the theme? What about the colour?

I just set mine to GMT -4 hours and it is correct. You're what 3 hours behind Ohio? It is 8PM right now here. Try setting your time to GM - 1 hour and see if that fixes it.
I wish that thing was more user friendly :headscratch:

Look in your profile under "My Account"

next to "Board Style:" you have 3 choices.

the original SubSilver - comes stock on all phpbb forums. I think it looks bad, but to each his own. I don't recommend that anyone uses this unless they want the forum to look like ass.

The Light green style that you are used to :thumb:

and a new Dark style 8)

We are going to officially announce it sometime next week. The mods have known about it for a few weeks now while I have been tweaking it and fixing anything that wasn't showing up right.

ejohnsizzle- you weren't far off :hehe:

I don't care what "time zone" it sets me in, I just find the one that displays the correct time. If you fiddle with it you can find the correct one if it really matters.
