TIME DIFFERENCE????

[ficklefaerie]

I posted a message at 7:30 pm...Ontario time and the message board says 23:30 which is 11:30 pm??

Any idea why the time is 4 hours off???

I noticed that , too - I'm in the US Eastern Time zone. I just assumed that iCraftGifts.com  was in a different time zone - but didn't know which one. I'd be interested in this also, since the actual dates (is it April 12 or April 13) are different in the evenings. Thanks for bringing this up - I've been wondering about that for a while!

I was wondering the same on the time difference?

Hi All,

All times listed on the message boards are Greenwich Mean 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. Since we are an international site, we thought the use of GMT was appropriate for all members.

Ah - OK - that explains the difference. I had thought it might be the time for iCraft "central" in Canada. Thanks for the explanation!
