Title: When does the forum change from one 'day' to the next?
Post by: Chemistry4me on 20/01/2009 10:06:59
When does the forum change from one 'day' to the next? For example, if someone had 100 posts after 20 days, it would read 5 posts per day, at waht time does this number change to 100/21=4.762? I would have thought that the time would be right on the mark, i.e 12 o'clock but it isn't [???] [???] Anyone know why that is and the actual time that it changes 'days'?
I posted this at 10:06:59 and my 'day' still hadn't changed from one to the next [???]

Aha, now it has changed The time was 10:12:26. Thus, sometime between those two times the forum clock moved from one 'day' to the next. Now I've just got to pin point that time exactly [8)]

Okay, I am back to see if I can narrow it down even further... This post came in at 10:04:07, as yet, the 'day' has not changed Further developments as they come to hand...

DOH! I just missed it! [:(!] This one appeared at 10:08:55 a.m. The 'day' has changed!, now I know that it is sometime between 10:07:31 and 10:08:55. I'm thinking 10:08:00 might be when it changes, but I'll have to wait to find out [:(] [:(]

Post by: Chemistry4me on 26/01/2009 10:09:37
Okay, so my theory of it being at 10:08:00 is wrong, I've narrowed it down to between 10:07:23 and 10:07:46, 23 seconds difference.

The server contains a clock in the timezone its' data center is situated. Your machine contains local time(whatever its set to).

Well the thing is, I'm never going to actually see the clock change, I just have to refresh the pages very very quickly and they take about 1-2 seconds to pop up which is why I can never be sure of the exact time, if you know what I mean.

Unless someone can think of a faster and better way to do it.... [:)]

Can you not get multiple pages up and then start refreshing them all in sequence?

Yep, that is what I have been doing [:)]

But even that takes about ~1 second.

What indicator do you use to determine that the day has changed ?
