I apologise for the problems. Our Server hosts are having a few problems. As for the time, Ross will sort that when he returns!

As far as I've been able to work out, the server keeps getting hit by some form of attack which dramatically slows it down. I'm currently talking to the hosting company to get this issue resolved. If needs be, forums will be moved to a different server. In regards to the time, once the server performance improves I will get 5 hours added to it. And for the info center, I've just checked that on your forum and the counts seem to be correct. Can you take a screenshot of it if it happens again?

OK, this issue is related to the clock being off by 5 hours. I've asked for the time to be reset ASAP. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused

Everything seems to be related to the server time (at first I thought it was just the time display but it seems to go deeper than that). The server seems to think it's 3.00pm in the afternoon and as such thinks the new posts which have been made are older than that actually are (if that makes sense)
