How To Fix The Wrong Time On SOWNY
It happens every year. Or rather, twice a year – the semi-annual time switch can cause some here to see the wrong time displayed on the board, depending on a number of factors that, frankly, I could never quite figure out.
Some tell me everything’s fine. Others complain they’re now an hour out. And every six months I find myself posting the same message. So here goes.
The good news is the fix is, like your friendly neighbourhood moderator, very simple.
At the top of the page, if you're signed in, click on “My Options.” Below your username and email, you’ll find a section called “Timezone Preference.” On the drop down menu, adjust the time by an hour. (For example, Daylight Time can be altered to -4 AST to get it to show the correct time. Standard Time goes back to -5.)
Go to the bottom of that page and hit “submit.”
That’s it. The time should now display correctly. You'll be reading this again on November 2nd, when we do the Time Warp again.

I actually got it right for a change! Now to change all the other clocks in our home, still have a few analog models!

The one I always forget is the clock in my car. I'm going out to do that right now before it slips my mind - again!

Thanks for the timely post RA!
I was listening to the radio yesterday morning and I think it was John Moore who mentioned the clocks going forward this weekend and shared how every year engineers would have to physically travel to the radio stations in the middle of the night to be able to adjust the time.
Wonder if they got "overtime."

Watch-check. Microwave-check. Wall Clock-check. Car-check. All good until November. As for SOWNY, I don't care what time my thoughts/opinions get posted, as long as they do.

A funny thing about this. Some people here are like you and couldn't care less about the time stamp. It makes others crazy. The fix is easy if you want it, but if not, hang on until the fall and all will be right again.
