Odd one - wrong dates and times on previous posts

Post by Mick F »

Just noticed a thread on Tech MB.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23069

It says I made a post at 09:04 this morning.

NO I DIDN'T !!!!

Anyway, that post was weeks ago!

I'd like to bet Gaz made his post weeks ago too.

What's going on?

Sorry I've no idea. I wouldn't even know how to resolve that one.

What strange powers are these you have Mick ??

'Twould appear that Gaz's reply was in Real Time.

How could a post that was written in March come up in May and at a time when I wasn't even on line? My laptop was switched off, and I was chatting to Kevin, our window expert!

Spooky.

Just done some investigating to make sure I wasn't going mad.

I looked in my System Log, and also my Firefox History, and it shows I'm not mad. I was on line on the forum up to 08:14 and not back until 09:55. My MacBook was asleep, and even hibernating*, from 08:41 to 09:45.

Wot's goin' on?


*Intel Macs hibernate, ie a "deep sleep" sometimes. Dunno why, ask an Apple software engineer!
