But my clock on my computer now says it is 2:46AM, which is correct.

The forum is showing me a time two hours behind? I am in Sydney. I don't know where the server is....
But I thought this forum should show you the time based on local time settings in the profile?

(edit) I am an idiot - I just double checked my profile and it was set to GMT +9 hours. I must have
done this the other night when I was fiddling about..... (blush)

No - it's embarassing. I am a sysadmin in my day job! I've setup enough of these forums
that I should not have made such a stupid assumption ;) (but it was 2:46 in the morning.....)...... ;)

don't be so hard on yourself. I used to be a sys admin and despite popular belief, were not actually magicians.
