  I’m in DC – eastern time zone, which is -5 UTC, right? but instead of my timestamp reading 11:29pm, it’s reading 4:29am. the military time appears correct in my settings, though.

  what do i do?
  here’s exactly what my settings say:

  hoursUTC time is 2008-12-18 4:29:44 UTC -5 is 2008-12-17 23:29:44

  right – but see the 4:29:44? THAT’S what’s showing up as my posting time, not 23:29 or 11:29. Booo!
