TimeCheck


I'm posting this at 21:03 on Thursday 27 July 2017. GMT
Is the time accurate on your display?
What time does your screen say??!

Hmm.. That's in the future.

What time does your PC think it is?!

Says the right time, here.

Either something's wrong with Steve's PC's clock, or something's wrong with my automated time-sync javascript code.
For some reason, the site's set Steve's time offset to +25 hours!
A very bizarre thing for it to do.

I'd hazard a guess that it's your code since there's no timezone on earth where it's currently 25 hours ahead of BST!

OK, double checked everything and did a little tweaking. Let me know if that fixes it, Steve.. (And/or breaks it further!!)

How are you syncing your timers?

I normally retireve the server time, offset for geolocation, then bung that in javascript and use a 999ms interval function to manipulate it by a second each run though. Works pretty well for countdowns, etc.

Time appeared right for me.

Day of the month * 24 + hour
It compares (javascript on your side) your current system time against the server's time, and if they're different it requests an update via a background request.
It's only an hourly resolution. Nothing minute or second specific. But it shouldn't be 25 hours out!!

I don't know what you adjusted but date and time here are now correct.
