ok, first you should double-click on the clock on your computer(you know, in the bottom right corner).

and, if you've got tabs in that window, you should see something like this:

then you click the "Time Zone" tab.

pay attention to the "GMT + or - whatever number

(and if you already knew your time zone, then that was a huge waste of time, but well, here's the part you need to know:

log in. click on profile at the top of the page. scroll down soo it looks like this (right above where you change your avatar):
Image

the drop down box for "Time Zone" should be set to whatever your time zone is (that's the GMT - or + some number)

if you're on the east coast, it's gmt-5. keep subtracting one, for each time-sone you move west. however, some crazy states don't to daylight savings time and then.. i dunno.
but for the most part, that'll make your time correct.

Although, maybe the clutches of Satin has its own time zone. Then you're SOL. Or maybe you have a Mac. We can't help you with that problem either.

In Classic, there's a control panel that lets you set time zone and such- Date and Time, I believe. In X, Date & Time under System Preferences will at least tell you which time zone you're in, but not the GMT offset; you could probably look it up online.

If it helps, your last post was at 18:54 GMT, so subtract that from whatever time it was locally to get your offset.

Or you could just go here.
