    I created this today at 12:00 AM (PST), but it's saying yesterday. However, if I hover over it, which you can do with any date / time stamp, to get the exact information, the date (February 6) is correct, so I'm not sure what happened.

    It's likely just confusion with the date/time system because it was posted exactly at midnight. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I wasn't so much worried as curiously surprised. :eek: The only thing I can think of is that I clicked Post New Thread at 11:59 PM yesterday, but didn't click Create Thread until 12:00 AM today. However, I've posted at 12:00 AM before without issue, so maybe it's because this time I hit Create Thread exactly when it changed to 12:00 AM, but I'm pretty sure I've also done that before.

    Next time one of those automatic cron jobs runs, it might get fixed, but it's not a big deal, as you said.[DOUBLEPOST=1391737910][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Hi, Misty.

    I happened to check the site earlier as a guest, and it correctly said "Today at 3:00 AM" and not "Yesterday at 3:00 AM" (guest time zone is ET), so I don't think it's an issue with the system, but something on my end with my account.

    When I checked logged in on Google Chrome, the same issue was there. However, if I change my time zone to GMT -7 or higher (GMT -6, GMT -5, etc.) to make it seem as if I posted it at 1:00 AM or higher, it correctly says "Today." But like we've both said, it's not a big deal. This is because on XenForo, after a week goes by, only the date will show in regards to post dates, members' last activity (if they've had no activity for a week, of course), etc.

    Who knows, though? It might get fixed tomorrow. I'll see it what it says tomorrow at 12:00 AM. If it corrects itself, it'll show "Yesterday at 12:00 AM"; if it doesn't, it'll show "Thursday at 12:00 AM," I think, unless it somehow shows Wednesday. I'll just have to wait and see.

    I will also be making a test thread tomorrow at 12:00 AM to see if it was maybe just a hiccup.
