I'm curious as to what the time zone is that generates the datetime stamp for forum posts. Or is it simply a GETUTCDATE()
?

It should be local time. It is possible it's showing the server time, which I believe is set to my time, US Mountain time.

It's definitely not local time...looks like UTC to me.

It's whatever you've got it set to in the forum settings (Control Panel -> Forum Settings). Mine is in Central African Time.

Ha...it occurs to me now that I have never really browsed around the control panel at all. Thanks!

ROFL. I never realized that option was there either. I have always just completely ignored the time of the post. Apparently I was set to central Europe. That is bit off from Central time. :hehe:
