Problems with date/time

July 20th, 2010
I've seen a lot of posts lately on the wrong date and/or time showing up in "More Details."
I didn't realize this until tonight when I uploaded my picture for the day today.
It says I uploaded it just after 5:00 on July 20th, though it's 9:45 on the 19th right now.
How do I change this so it will be accurate?
Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it's just because the site is based out of the UK. So I'm guessing that it's displaying the date/time based on what time it was in the UK when you uploaded.

can you check your settings? You->Settings
Make sure that its correct. If thats correct then its a bug in the web site :)

It's the right time on the website. Maybe I'll check my camera too.

The setting should be GMT, not the time zone where you live. As Weng posted, from the top of any page click on YOU. From the drop-down menu select SETTINGS. In the TIME ZONE box, select GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). This should be the same time zone as Ipswitch, England and shoud sync your dates.

In Mississippi I am actually -6 hours from GMT and only noticed there was an issue when I tried to vote for a weekly theme winner and saw that the voting was already over! I haven't had any problems since I changed the time zone.
