Whoa..

[Simmen Stenil]

What's up with all the post times? It's all weird.. it's half military time and half gibberish. Does anyone else get this? For help, my time zone is GMT.

Yeah, it looks screwed up for me too. What do the numbers in parentheses mean, exactly?
Let's all blame Shadowblazer. He probably screwed it up while installing the edit hack. :)

Actually, everything seemed normal when that hack was around earlier today. However, those times are confusing me. :confuse2:

Let's all blame Shadowblazer. He probably screwed it up while installing the edit hack. :) Nah, I did it on purpose actually ;) Just experimenting. The first string of gibberish was the date, year first with no slashes, spaces, etc... but I changed that to something more familiar since I figured most of you would probably go nuts. After that is the time which should be pretty obvious (I added in seconds) and then the number in parentheses is Internet Time (http://www.swatch.com/alu_beat/fs_itime.html). Ignore it if it troubles you ;) It won't bite though.

Internet Time(no TM, hehehe). That's just to commercialize stuff and give Swatch a more prominent name.

Yeah I know, but it's so cool! :D I heard about it awhile back and the idea intrigued me, because the whole idea of alternate timekeeping systems just seems so cool. Then I was fiddling with the time display format tonight to add in seconds (to see how quickly people were getting their responses in on the Pictionary thread, I beat foxy by 2 seconds ;) ) and I noticed that Internet Time was one of the recognized display formats, so I figured I'd throw it in there.

Just be glad I didn't chose to display the time as the number of seconds elapsed since Unix Epoch (which is the format the times are stored in anyway).

It would be better if you could change it via a checkbox or theme. I like 12 hour AM/PM time without Swatch time. It would seem just as easy to do as setting your time offset and start day of week.

mine was the same way tho i logged of and it fixed its self wonder why?.....

[Simmen Stenil]

Well, he changed it back recently, so that's why.

EDIT: Instead of posting a new thread, I'll post it here. How do you get a custom title, go up in star rank, or change your title (i.e. newcomer)?

Ok, so no one saw my edit... Instead of posting a new thread, I'll post it here. How do you get a custom title, go up in star rank, or change your title (i.e. newcomer)?

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing seconds in post times. Then, when people complain in MPQ World about being just beaten to the answer to a question, we can all see by just how much they were beaten. Then we can giggle at their misfortune. :D

don't panic if you don't see an immediate answer to a question, even if it looks like there are a bunch of people online. when mods and smods "patrol" a forum, we try our best to keep up with the topics, but with so many people posting so often (especially here in GD) we can't be everywhere at once. unfortunate, but we're just human ;)
it's perfectly acceptable to create a new thread if you have a question and it's off topic in the thread you're reading/replying to. in fact, your question(s) will probably get a more timely reply if you do create a new thread. and any question you post in the new members forum (http://boards.armageddongames.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=48) will generally get a quick answer because we like to help the new members feel comfortable :D

your title and star rank change as you reach certain points in your posting. as you reach certain "marks" in your posting (ie. 50 posts or 100 posts or 350 etc..). ranks and stars change automatically...you don't have to do anything. custom titles are currently only available to mods/smods/admins and members with more than 1000 posts. that system may change in the future, but that's the way it's set up currently. you can find more details and a chart that shows what point you change ranks at by going to newbie central (http://newbiecentral.armageddongames.com). hope that helps.
