OK, not to be picky, but the PF clock is a few hours behind.

.. and yes, I've checked my profile to make sure I'm in the right time zone.

Zz.
It's about an hour behind for me, so maybe the time zone settings aren't working at all and everyone sees the same time.

Greg won't be back unil tonight, then he can see what else needs to be fixed.

Ok, we all need to chip in and get more contributors for PF! I had to contact the hosting service and get them to fix the server, hiring "remote hands" to do the work is not cheap guys. Greg pays a lot of money to keep PF going and if we give a little more, we can make PF more reliable.

I know not everyone can contribute, but we have a 13 year old that is a contributor out of his "earnings" from part time jobs, so if he can do it, I know most of you others can.

Isn't it worth $2 a month to keep PF going?

What actually happened? I came a few times, and observed that 1 user would be viewing something somewhere, so I guessed that you had a single-user access to the backend db (like with sql)...

I don't see edit button under my posts anymore!:bugeye:
Does that mean we can't edit/delet posts or I'm missing something here?

Make sure you are looking at a recent post. After 24 hrs, the edit function disappears. You should be able to edit post during 24 hrs of the post time.

Thanks!:smile:

At 1st I thought that must be the problem but I though that I made the post at 3PM so I still can edit it.(that was the date of the last post of the thread not my post:blushing: )

Well, there's a big "disconnect" between Greg and I that sometimes limits my ability to fix things. I don't have his phone number, nor do I have the contact info of this new hosting company. My hands are often tied until Greg arrives... then I tell him what to tell the hosting company. :smile:

No doubt, PF looks like Matrix:

"Neo (me): The program 'Smith' has grown beyond your control. Soon he will spread through this city as he spread through the Matrix. You cannot stop him, but I can.
Deus Ex Machina (greg): We don't need you. We need nothing.
Neo (me): If that's true, then I've made a mistake and you should kill me now.
Deus Ex Machina (greg): What do you want?
Neo (me): Peace."
