    My entries are an hour ahead of my time zone. I don't mean to bother you but you did say comment if you see any problems . . .

      Even now? This was just fixed and only applies to new entries.

        When I go to update it is still an hour ahead.

          Strange .. what time zone do you live in, and do you have the time zone setting on your computer set up properly. I know that can cause issues with the time setting in the update page.

            Central and the time on my computer is correct. It is just IJ that tries to update with the wrong time. My other online journals have the correct time.

              Yes, I live in the Central Time Zone as well and it's an hour ahead for me.

    It's always been three hours ahead for me. Because I live on the west coast XDDD


    Well, there was that ONE time it was at the right time for me... lol. I was all sad when it went back to normal.

    It's starting to act up on me too as well. My time zone is Eastern and it's 4 hours ahead. I went back into my entries and just corrected the time on the ones I noticed that were wrong.

      That is becuase we have set the server time to GMT instead of EST. This will fix the issue with comments showing up with the wrong time. We are still working on the issue with the update page.

    what programming language are you using to adjust the time?

      It is supposed to grab the localtime from your PC using a javascript application. Loaded from http://www.insanejournal.com/js/entry.js

      Its just the default code from LiveJournal, so I've no idea what is causing it to not work properly.

        The code outputted the correct time. It was 1308 here when I tested it.

        My question is the document.updateForm that f is set to. I've never seen text boxes updated in this way.

        When I post the time is 7 hours fast and 7 minutes.

        Sounds like the same variable is being added to both the hours and the minutes.

        I did find a working model for date and time for live journal, even though you probably already have this. http://flail.com/blahsource.html

        Perhaps you need to use a Document.updateForm.Submit() at the end of your function pageload().

          Wow I can be vague.

          The Document.updateForm.Submit() may update the form on the page before the hours and or minutes are added to the time, but this would not actually get rid of the error only skip over it.

          Just a thought
