Lately I've been seeing the following:
Today I was looking at forums until about 2:45PM. This evening about 7:30PM I clicked on the Go to first new post on various threads. I scroll up to previous posts and see many that have been added from 4PM on. Why are these posts not the first unread? Do I have a setting wrong?

Today it was really bad. It seems I missed all posts from 3:30AM or so to at least 10:00AM, and many through 2:30PM.
And the post times are off. It's 3:05PM and the recent posts are 3:45+ (a DST problem?). My settings seem to be correct.

Scroll down to the very bottom of the site and, right above the copyright, it should say "The time now is XXX". Make sure the time it says is the same as your current local time. Otherwise, change your settings accordingly.

Also, there's a setting in your profile to use a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock (am/pm).

Daniweb time: 12:00PM. Current time: 11:00PM.
My settings: GMT -6 Central with Automatically detect DST. I'll switch it to Always on.

Always do. And if I didn't read them, they'd still be marked. I'm seeing posts are not marked that were posted after I left the system.
Latest data:
At 4:18PM I shut down my computer with no unread threads
At 10:31 I was back up and entered Daniweb. In Software Programming C and C++ forums:
First thread error: Missed 3 posts timestamped from 6:30 on (5:30 actual)
Second thread error: Missed 1 post timestamped 7:40
Third thread error: Missed 2 posts timestamped from 9:43 on
Forth thread error: Missed 1 post timestamped 9:51

Now set to Always off. Hey! I got the right time! Looks like a bug in the Automatically detect DST setting.
