The Times...They are a Changing!

You may have noticed a time change on here. The wording “All times are GMT” used to appear at the bottom on the right, now it says “All times are GMT - 5 Hours”, which is set to Central Time now.

If you would like to reset your forum screen to your time zone time no matter where in the world you are, read the following and follow the simple instructions at the very bottom.

(GMT) stands for Greenwich Mean Time

Where is Greenwich? What is Greenwich Time (GMT)?
Greenwich, England has been the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since 1884. GMT is sometimes called Greenwich Meridian Time because it is measured from the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Greenwich is the place from where all time zones are measured.

Clocks Change: Spring Forward & Fall Back (Fall = Autumn),
but (GMT) remains the same all year around.

The Greenwich Meridian (Prime Meridian or Longitude Zero degrees) marks the starting point of every time zone in the World. (GMT) is Greenwich Mean (or Meridian) Time is the mean (average) time that the earth takes to rotate from noon-to-noon.

(GMT) is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. (GMT) sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by (GMT). Although (GMT) has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

Where is Greenwich, England?
Longitude 0° 0' 0"
Latitude 51° 28' 38"N (North of the Equator)

Greenwich Mean Time is international time, the basis of the world time clock. (GMT) marks precision time and military time (sometimes called Zulu Time). Defines date and time and the exact time. The atomic time clock is adjusted by leap seconds to maintain synchronicity with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is also known as Zulu Time

To figure out what your time zone vs. (GMT) is click here http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/index.htm then go to you “Profile” and change the time zone setting in your menu. It is that easy.
