    Something Weird Is Happening...

    This is really strange. Sometimes the "joined" date in my profile says July 31, and sometimes it says August 1. Anybody know why? Because I know it happens, I've seen it several times.

    Maybe you registered close to midnight, and it now depends on whether you are logged in, or not, as to which date it shows. Just a guess, though.

    It's the fluttering of a wrinkle in the fabric of space-time. Be careful that you aren't on line at midnight during high solar winds.

    Log out... check the join date under your username, then log back in and see if it changes.

    My guess is that you registered some time in the morning and that the forum defaults to GMT. This would mean, that even though you set your time zone to be whatever it is for you when you log out, the forum is automatically defaulted to GMT and you see the time you registered minus whatever time zone you're in.

    It makes sense in my head!

    It must be a glitch in the program.

    Watch out for agents!
