Time marks are set for individual board users. Check what you have as your time zone setting in your profile by clicking on the "profile" button and scrolling down to "Timezone". Your time may be set incorrectly for your geographic location. If so, re-set it so that it corresponds with your local time, relative to GMT. Or as Bad Bob was so kind to elaborate for me: "These letters refer to Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich is the spot in England (zero meridian)where all navigatonal (longitude) and time-related readings are zero (hence + or- x number of hours)"

Brian - then u have to explain which time-zone I'm in - look at the below copy of your reply to me (look at the time) Is it my time - no due to my time is not 9.44 4th of july yet - your time then, no you are not even landed at 4th of july yet - due to you are 10 hours behind me.

So Brian, despite we scandinavians are faaaaaar away, we are not days away (GMT+1 - that means +6 hours before US east coast time - and +9 to US west coast time.) I just wanted to let u know. (it's not important - but perhaps in some cases the correct time for a reply is nice to know)
best wishes for a pleasant 4th of July !
