    your clock is wrong, when i post it is an hour off…do you not turn back the clock for daylight savings time? i live in the USA, FL. thanks for the help!

    The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General.

    Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

    I’m surprised that you cannot simply click that link and opt out.

    I answered you 3 minutes after you posted. I am not a clown and this peer support is not a joke nor do with put up with any nastiness here.

    I strongly suggest that you keep all your communication on this support forum polite https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-code-of-conduct?replies=1 because Volunteers can pick and choose exactly which threads to respond to.

    Here’s a link to all of our support options http://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/

    With regard to the fact that you cannot use this link https://www.inspectlet.com/optout the solution could be a simple one.
    Try http://www.inspectlet.com/optout. If that doesn’t work then while waiting for Staff to assist you, you could try temporarily disabling your security program, clicking the link and enabling it again afterwards.

    thank you ‘timethief’ i meant NO disrespect to wordpress or anyone else! i am very new to this and found all this ‘help’ page/;forums actually by accident! didnt even know i had my own ‘blog’ so to speak. i apologize if i offended anyone.
    thanks for your help in all of this. i just wanted to know how to contact i guess the ‘staff’ as you put it! i actually have been playing around once i found out the page before i knew i had any responses. i did change the time, but it looks like it might be on the blog users end that i follow.
    2. i will not undo the security block until i get it checked out by the security firm. they are very very good and i cannot risk getting infected and losing my computer again, but thanks for the idea. done it once with another site and paid a heavy price.
    3. thanks for tagging me for more help. i really appreciate it. is there a how to use this site page?
    thanks again for your help! :) have a great day

    thank you ‘timethief’ i meant NO disrespect to wordpress or anyone else!

    Thank goodness for that. You just made me happy and that’s not a bad thing because I answer more support questions than any other Volunteer does … lol :D

    is there a how to use this site page?

    Yes, see here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/forums-faq-getting-started-in-the-forums?replies=1

    Also note these helpful links:
    On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

    See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/

    The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

    Lastly, don’t post again into any thread that tagged for Staff. They answer threads in chronological order and posting again moves the timestamps foward so it takes longer to get help.

    P.S. Welcome to WordPress.com!

    *timethief* sorry!

    @cindyzs – I’m reading through the thread here. It seems there are two main issues:

    Your clock is wrong, when i post it is an hour off…do you not turn back the clock for daylight savings time?

    Could you clarify what blog you’re referring about here? Are you referring to your blog cindyzs.wordpress.com or thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com (which you mentioned in your replies)? The latter is owned by another blogger, hence the time on posts will be controlled on their side.

    i want to opt out of https://www.inspectlet.com/optout but it is BLOCKED by web security on my computer. … thats a clue of a bad thing…….PLEASE OPT ME OUT OF BEING TRACKED BY THEM AND ANY OTHERS!

    Could you elaborate on what you mean by “blocked by your computer”? Are you referring to a blocked pop-up window that occurs when you click “Inspectlet.com opt-out” here?

    jeremeylduvall, my clock was changed cindyzs, but it the i guess thefrugalcrafters that is wrong. so not really a big deal i guess. but while trying to figure out that mess, i saw about being tracked or whatever it is called and wanted to opt out (which it should be the other way, we should have to opt in) but my security blocked it with this message:

    This website has been reported as unsafehttps://www.inspectlet.com/optoutWe recommend that you don't continue to this website because it is reported to contain the following threats:Suspicious threat:This is a suspicious site. There is a higher than average probability that you will be exposed to malicious links or payloads.

    Unblock page and continue

    so i cannot nor will not unblock it and take a chance that i have my computer compromised again or infected.
    another person helped me with some of the ins and outs of wordpress, so pretty much this is the only issue right now that i have.
    thanks for your help in advance,
    cindy
