PhotoPost Timestamp

Hi Don,

You may already be aware of this, but the PhotoPost timestamp seems to be 4 hours behind. For example, at 9:31 AM today I posted a comment to Lakegirl's recent sunset picture. PhotoPost indicates that my comment was posted at 5:31 AM.

I found a problem with the Greenwich Mean Time offset and it should now be in sync.

I know you reported this problem before Don so thanks for your patience.

These time settings are tough to keep up with since every program does it differently. Some use server time, some GMT, some account for DST and some don't. Photopost has time settings in several places and users can also set their offset/timezone. It's enough to drive a webmaster crazy.

In the case of webmasters, it isn't a drive.... only a short putt

Sorry Don, I couldn't resist.

Thanks, Don. The PhotoPost timestamp looks fine now.
