I've experienced this before, I remember a thread about it a while back that offered a solution which... didn't work.

I'd be interested in the answer to this question, anyone ?

My time zone is wrong, although i hace set it in the account settings area. Current time here is 01:04 am

ETA - the time on this thread is 1 hour ahead of me!

ETA (again)

The time on the time zone setting is wrong to:

Date Format (mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yy, etc):
Time Offset (GMT time is currently 10:06 AM)

No - currently GMT is 3:07 PM or 4:07 PM BST
Melbourne is GMT +10 so it is 01:07 am here.

Something not adding up???

Maybe something to do with daylight savings? I don't know. Try set it one hour off until there's a fix

I have set my time format to "24 hours" and it's showing just fine. I have set my date format to "D j M Y". Your post is showing as: "Sat 27 Aug 2011 @ 18:44" which is correct for my timezone.

How do you select 24 hours?

Neither option is clickable on my profile settings

Right above "date format" in your settings, you can choose between 24 hours or 12 hours time format. If you can't, there must be something wrong with your browser somehow. Maybe you'll need to allow script or something. Or try a different browser.

Btw, remember to set your timezone again after making any changes, or it will be set wrong again. I always set my timezone as the last thing, whenever I make any changes (before hitting submit).

Hellmutt, you legend

Restarted browser (well had no choice as PC decided to restart itself) but followed your advice and it's now spot on, pesky little work around but now I'm happy.

Thanks mate

See my first post. You can only set your timezone here, but you can't see what you have set. Ignore what it says after you have set it, as it's "an illusion". See recent posts to check if you've set it correctly
