It's The Semi-Annual "How To Fix The Wrong Time On SOWNY" Post!

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve posted the following, I might have enough for a free beer - or three. But it’s that time of year again. And speaking of time…

The semi-annual "fall back" clock 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. It affects the time on a post and the "last visit" clock you see in the upper left corner. 

Some tell me everything’s fine. Others complain they’re now an hour out. And some couldn't care less. If that's you, you can skip this message. But if you do, here's how to fix it.

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 clock should now display correctly. And just in time!

Let's do the Time Warp again in March!

Daylight saving time is like cutting one end off a blanket and stitching it to the other end to make it longer.


After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.

Who cares?  It's here, regardless of posted time.  It doesn't matter.

the time changes are simple for me.
My Timex Ironman wrist watch is easy to reset.
The only other clock I have to set is my bedroom clock radio.
All my other clocks are computerized, including my 2021 Volkswagen Golf.
