Topic: Mysterious Calendar and Clock

Ran into something and had to ask. I've noticed it before, but figured this time I'd try to find out the answer.  At about 1 or 2 PM CDT today, Sunday, 3/15/I5, I posted a topic in the forum of one of my groups. I just came from there and saw this. Under the column titled 'Last Post' it says "Yesterday 18:17:54. There are no replies to the post as of now, but the info indicates I posted it Saturday, 3/14/15 at 6:17:54 PM. Anybody got an answer?

I don't think the person...thing...that controls the forum and time/date is in America. If you notice the date is displayed yyyy mm dd. In the US we do mm dd yyyy. That would explain the time and date discrepancies.

Isn't there a way to tell the browser to display via local time?  I wonder if the time supplied is Zulu time, as it should be.

dags/njc - thanks for the feedback but I don't think either is the answer. Dags - not everybody in the US uses mm/dd/yyyy. The military uses dd/mm/yyyy. NJC - I checked the Zulu idea, but realized that when it's 2 pm on Sunday in Texas, it ain't Saturday anywhere in the world. To make it more interesting, check the time I posted my original thread. It shows just after midnight. You guys responses show to have been made at 1:13 and 3:24 this morning sad
