I do not know if it is just me but right now it is 6:49am Pacific and the stats page does not say it is updating. In 10 minutes or so it will start (just like it did yesterday) to update @ 7am but it says that it started @ 6am Pacific. Am I losing my marbles or is the stats update off by an hour?

Thanks,

No you're not. This happens every year when the time is adjusted. I think I read somewhere that Stanford doesn't change the time so the update is being done 1 hour later(local time).

Stanford's F@H servers all run on GMT/UC/Zulu Time, so the difference with the US changing the "Summer" time start/stop puts us at odds with the rest of the countries that followed the older protocols - UK for one.

Actually they don't. Stanford's servers run on PDT/PST, in previous years Stanford IT decided that they would adhere to the "old" dates for switching over to DST, whether that is still the case I can't say.

Then I apologise, as I misunderstood what I was told early on; that the display may show Pacific, but that's because their local zone automagically makes the translate. Now colour me corn-foozed!

As long as the few I turn in match the few that I am credited, no problem. Yet!

Thanks folks.
