'Last post' timer error (TD may want to look)

Or maybe it kinda does that that depending on the location ur from..?? I don't really know though, but that might be it.

 

You can PM LDC1121 (Leah). She's online.

17 Hours Ago​

In any case...I don't see 10 hours turn into 1 Day Ago, as I just pasted that I see 17 Hours Ago on the main forum page.

It's either a local problem (ie. unique to your username, and/or isp and/or browser), or you're simply losing track of time by having too much fun.​

I'm opting to believe the second, as MySQL Databases don't discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, race, or location. (Har har)​

To find out, I will check this post periodically, to see what time displays.​

The time for me is currently 5:13 AM, which places the posting time at roughly 12:13pm. Converting to Grenwich Mean Time, That's 5:13pm, or 17:13.​

EDIT: Upon editting this point at 5:16, "3 Minutes Ago" displays.​

 

Sorry to double post, but I'm only doing do to preserve the "Last edited by Mike" time stamp. (To mods: Please preserve my posts until I can determine is there's some error in the timestamping. I'm only double posting for diagnostics purposes...after it's all sorted out, you can delete the doubles).

Now it's currently 2:39pm local time, and I see

Last edited by Mike; 9 Hours Ago at 05:16 AM

Which is the correct timestamp. So far so good, I'll check back in an hour or two to see.

EDIT:

Seems legit still.

 

Sure, so y'know what, take offense to the guy (who's not even a staff member) who actually gave a damn, and tried to diagnose and fix your problem...simply for throwing a little humour into his post.

You know what? THAT is offensive. Quite frankly, you can kiss my ass.

-------------------------

To TD: I've determined there's no problem with the timestamping.

It's been over 20 hours (infact, it's been over 38) and it still says one day.

EDIT: Mods, please cleanup my double post (if you can be bothered) as I no longer need it, I drew the appropriate conclusions.

EDIT 2: I also took offense to you challenging the notion that I can do basic arithmetic. Don't bother trying that again.

 

I've deliberately waited an hour or two after reading your response, to respond, so I don't say things I regret later. Here's how things stand:

1) I look like I'm being an asshole to you, so I have to redeem myself.
2) You look like you're being childish and ungrateful, and you have to redeem yourself. (Don't get upset, I explain exactly why I think this, later on in this post. Now you just have to change my opinion)

So please try to be civil as I'm going to try to redeem myself and explain why #2 holds. You should try to do the same. I'm not exactly looking for people to be cold to over the internet...that doesn't give me some kind of a buzz. So I'd like to work this out before this escalates.

You didn't apologize. What you did was like the following:

"I'm sorry, but you're ugly"
"I'm sorry, but you smell bad"
"I'm sorry, but you're a moron"

Even though these contain the word 'sorry' they are not sincere apologies. The rest of your post was written in a tone that doesn't exactly feel like you're sorry...so you didn't apologize. The word sorry doesn't mean anything, it's instead the feelings/reactions behind the words that counts.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh a bit here because you completely missed the point of what I was doing. (See?)

I wasn't determining whether or not I have the problem. I was determining whether or not KH-3.NET has the problem. If it was a problem TD can debug, then it would appear that way to EVERYONE. Not just you. Thus by determining that timestamps work for me, I'm eliminating KH-3.NET as the problem. It's on your system, ISP, computer, Browser, wherever it lies....it's none of TD's business, and not his problem.

My next step would have been to list off possible fixes, including, but not limited to, flushing your browser's cache. But I was stopped before I got to those suggestions.

Also note that I never said you didn't have a problem. If I did, would I have spent an entire day roaming this topic, to determine when the timestamp changes to "1 day ago" ? Absolutely not.

See, this ties in with not actually apologizing. The rest of your post was written angrily, and as such you communicated more than just your method of calculation. It was said in a demeaning manner...so in other words, it's not what you wrote, it's how you wrote it.

It had a "What's 2 + 2? 4? Very goooood!" Sesame-street kind of feel to it. I don't think you can even deny that.

First, I don't care if you agree with my sense of logic; I agree with my sense of logic, that's all the motivation I need to draw a logical conclusion. If I'm mistaken I'm mistaken...but agreeing/disagreeing with me does not strengthen/weaken my conclusions. That's not how logic works. (this is how math differs from the other sciences, like biology)

'Quite frankly' you're absolutely right, I did ignore everything else in that post. Read on to find out why. (And furthermore, don't ridicule me for using 'quite frankly.' I don't even want to start tearing apart your post for using weird expressions/bad grammar. "Actually universally" ???)

And it all boils down to this response;

I'm almost certain I could have helped you with your problem (except now I would have needed to communicate with you directly, as I've determined the problem lies somewhere out of my, and KH-3.NET's reach). I've already said what my next course of action would have been.

See when I said "Quite frankly, you can kiss my ass" it means I no longer care about your problem...I can't be bothered. I devoted the better part of a day yesterday to sitting by the computer, so I can occasionally drop in a check the timestamp. And though I'm not going to claim I ONLY did so in order to help you (it's my decision after all), I still devoted lots of time to diagnosing this problem. Then I come back on to post my findings and a suggestion or two, and see your response which I took offense to. Not only did it not express a shred of gratitude, but it also contained things which I took personally.

Sure, a better man wouldn't have taken them personally, but I'm a human being after all, I can get annoyed as well.

And FYI: every single person on this earth loses track of time because they're having fun. 13, or 13,000,000 years old. Why you took that personally, I haven't the slightest idea. It's a widely-accepted fact in human psychology: in a pleasurable situation, time passes quickly, in a depressed or painful state, perceived time passes slowly. "Time flies when you're having fun" is a very real phenomenon..."stupid child" or not.

See, this is the problem that comes up when you talk with someone almost double your age...you have a very different sense of humour.

'Har har' is indicative of a joke. If you claim otherwise, then you're telling me what I meant with my own words. It's meant to put a slight bit of snarkiness in...almost exactly like using a smilie. Except the difference is, I very rarely use smilies (although I've been known to, I didn't in this case)...Often times I use words instead.

Asking me to consider changing my style of humour to a 13 year old's is identical to asking you to spontaneously age 10-15 years in maturity. It's not going to happen, I haven't been 13 for a long time.

I'm not claiming I'm 'better' than you for being older, I'm merely saying we're different and have different senses of humour (among other things).

This is actually the precise reason I don't list my age in my profile: people probably wouldn't talk to me very much, since I'm a fair bit older than the average member here. (Although it's funny, I actually joined these (or rather its predecessor forums) when I was a teenager, a lot of time has just passed since then).

I also don't feel I've totally overreacted by choosing to withdraw my efforts from solving your problem...because that's really all I said in my previous post. I have every right to do so, as I was trying to do a nice thing for you, and (in my opinion) received a bit of a rude response, instead of what I might have hoped for (some appreciation).

The problem is, like I said mySQL databases don't discriminate. So there are a few possible problems here...but (at least) until things are sorted out, I won't exactly be giving any suggestions.

Ok, I'll give one: Do what I did. Be sure to use the EDIT function to edit your posts after 3 minutes. This leaves a nifty little time stamp on your posts (ie. the exact time you posted). It's easier to find a discrepancy this way.

-------------------------

So basically, yes...I ignored more than half of your last post. That's because I've withdrawn my efforts from fixing your problem. If you don't like something in this post, then you have to change my opinion of you. I'm pretty sure I've explained things in a reasonable manner, and if you don't accept my view of the situation (ie. that there are two sides to the story), then you have a lot to learn as you grow older.

 

Ok, i really don't know what the heck you guys are talking about but, fighting is not the option. Wait till TD takes a look at this.
