Or just use ClockRack and dial up to the US Navy's AC.

Atomic clocks are accurate at keeping time, not necessarily at stating the correct time.

Re the thread, I think I'll change my clock time just to confuse people.

The clock has been wrong for ages. I made a thread about it ages ago, although I seem to recall it was running too fast back then.

*thinks back*Markos said something about not having the time and I said he could theoretically have the job done before he started it.*thinks back*

SO it must have been running fast before.

The local time option seems to become the new highlight here. Well I can understand I'm also always looking at it and comparing it with my watch and with other members. It's interesting to see: "when here it's 0:30 what time is in America".

SD: Do you have your local time set to 3 1/2 hours behind just to annoy everyone?

edit: I'll start reading your posts one day.

Doesn't it annoy you as well?

Cool. It would be better if it was a 12-hour am/pm clock, but then again I think the dates would be better as M-D-Y.

He never did respond to my suggestion that the date be displayed as 21-Aug-2002 rather than 21-08-2002. I think that would satisfy everyone.

Yeah, that would be fine by me. But the American date format is one of my pet peeves.

This should be moved to sit next to the flag, and the word "time" removed.

Anyway, can we PLEASE have +1300 and -1300 time zones added. They are becoming more and more necessary.

Great feature. I love it.

Mark,

I selected the European flag with the result that I am now on GMT. This is wrong. I am at GMT+1. Does that mean that I have to select the Dutch flag after all?

your flag setting is irrelevant to your timezone setting, which you can change at your options page

You need search by time and flag, and sort Members List by time and flag not just by clicking on the time.
