Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 7:14 pm Post subject: Contest 3 Start Time |
|
|
Hello.
Excuse me if this was asked somewhere, but I just noticed today that the next contest was scheduled for "Wednesday December 15, 2010 At 08:15PM EST" . Looking back at the calender, the previous contests apparently started later in the evening too.
Of course, all the contests so far where at 3:15 EST. I'm wondering if this is a problem at all.
Thanks |

I think it may just be a bug but I am not sure... |

Right now it's 7:35 EST .
"The next contest will start in 1 Days 0 Hours 39 Minutes 33 Seconds"
If that timer is actually what starts the contest, there might be an issue. You'd know better than me, of course. |

This is what my ContestCP says...

The server time is Tuesday December 14, 2010 At 07:54PM EST as of the last page refresh.
Is this a problem for everyone?
However, this is what it says above that:

It seems that when syncing the dwite database to the cloud the times got changed. Went from 15:15:00 to 20:15:00.
The issues should now be fixed. |
