To keep the other thread clean of chatter,<br />For the 100,000 member contest,<br /><br />May I make a suggestion, to keep the entry's hidden from the members until the contest is over, then post who guessed what...<br /><br />My reason...<br /><br />Say 300 people put in an entry, and 280 of them say a perticular day within a givin year, it would be a pretty good guess to just pick the next day, so iff all of those people are under, bam, you snipe it with a better chance than someone... kinda like the last bidder on the Price is Right.<br /><br />Is it just me or is this a posibility?

You can set your time to coincide with theirs in yourprofile:) But you probably already know that!! Just change it to either + or - the number of hours difference in your time zone and theirs...

Ahhh, see there, I didn't know you had already made those changes:) Now I don't have anything wise to tell you...perhaps they DO need a new clock, or at least a Time Server!!!

OK,<br />I looked at the profile settings again.<br />I am man enough to admit when I am wrong, once.<br />It showed me having to set it to -5 :( <br />I think it didn't adjust for daylight savings time, yeah, yeah that's it!!!<br /> :D :D <br /><br />AK Chappy
