Don't feel bad, I must have looked at least half a dozen times and never found it either. Thanks Russ!

haha that's alright, this post gave me the kick in the pants to go find it myself. I was just going to live with being off by a couple hours forever.

A couple of hours? Lol this was really bugging me...I'm 18 hours in front. Time stamps on posts get me incredibly confused :)

Thankyou for showing how to fix

Ahh, methinks the administrator changed the board default form Pacific to Mountain time sometime in the last 24 hours.  Now we need to update our offsets again.

Indeed (because my default has always been fine, and now you're posting from the future!)

Subtract one from whatever offset you had before.  (I.e. if you were +3, now you're +2)
