It looks like something happened to the clock on the server. I got an error when logged in on my normal account, Ecclesiastes, that I had to wait 30 seconds to post, even though it had been several minutes. When I logged out and logged back in on my old account, I noticed that the clock was reading 3 hours slow. I'm guessing the only reason I can post with this account is because I haven't posted at all today with it, so the clock isn't effecting me.

Viewing the list of logged on users, here is where I see the break:

I should be listed at the top of the list (as usual when checking out the list), but for whatever reason, I'm 3 pages back.

Yep, you're absolutely right. I was in the process of fixing it when you posted this. Thanks for the note, it should be corrected now.
For the curious: The hardware clock was screwy and when the server got rebooted things went haywire -- the forums didn't like their ride on the time machine apparently.

This shouldn't happen again.

While you're dealing with the clock--did the profiles lose all their time zone preferences or is everyone just getting GMT-0500 until the forums go back to their permanent servers?

I lied, it happened again. I'm going to try to find the time to investigate why it keeps doing this, but it's kind of low on my todo list. Nag me if the time ends up getting off by 3 hours again.

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
Flood control is enabled on this board, please wait 30 seconds before replying or posting a new topic
here it is again, when I was attempting to post in a thread.

Are you sure it wasn't just 30 seconds or less since you'd posted?
