I'm strictly hardware John. :smt017

You want an IT expert. :smt024

You could try bill.gates@microsoft.com. :twisted:

Failing that, could you give an example of a problem thread please?

Go into user control panel (Profiles button at the top of the page) and select the Board preferences tab. Change the timezone to UTC-1.

UTC=GMT=Zulu - all of which are constants.
During the Winter months (until 28/29th March, this year) we're UTC.
Thereafter, until Autumn (Fall) we're UTC+1.

Alpha is a variable and equates to Local Time wherever you may be.

Bit Basher:

we'll Al claims to be one so I would imagine it's a term for an IT guru. I may have heard it derogatorily used for Software engineers (a race as weird as any known to man!).

Either:

a) Someone who searches for anal porn and someone who finds it.

b) Google and Yahoo search robots that mean that Googlers and Yahoo-ers can find information on the Elan.
