Site time off by about 20 minutes??

Post by MatsP »

It appears that the time on the site is about 20 minutes ahead of actual time. This post is, according to my SKY-box is posted at 21:04 - but I expect the post time to be 21:24, give or take a couple of minutes.

Yes. I would have thought that any hosting company that knows at least roughly what they are doing would have a NTP setup so that the system is automatically, regularly, updating the current time against a time-server.

But it seems that it's still a problem...
