Did the server clock reset?

I was just browsing through the forums, and noticed that the posting times are way off from Eastern Standard (Florida) Time. Did the server get moved to a different time zone, or is it just part of a bigger plan to keep the enemy guessing?

Just about 7 minutes difference. No biggy, they were showing 6:00 PM just a few minutes ago, which was a greater disparity.

That same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. It's a cookie problem since our preference for time zone is kept in the cookie. Logging out and back in fixed it. I highly suspect you had the same problem since you said, in effect, it was approx 5 hours off what it should be. That is the difference between EDT and GMT.
