  • Count down thingy

    I know it's Newman, but where's the counter-downer thingy telling us how long until game time? I'm bb starved!

    We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

        So does the game start at 9pm central? It is 3:49pm now and the countdown show 7 days and 5 hours and 11 mins.

          I think it best to get the thingy running. Game starts at the normal 7:05 pm central time.

            Probably the server that's serving this site has it's timestamp screwed up. Daylight savings screwed up and/or wrong time zone or just the date is jacked? I notice the last post on here showed 3:00pm at 4:00pm.

              That's dependent on the time zone you have selected in your profile.

              At this point you should leave it alone since we fall back this weekend.

                It kinda sucks that we're one of the last ones in Division I that will get to see our team play (both in exhibition and in regular season opener).

                  I have to wait until the opener. I'll be missing the Newman game as I comitted to a concert before knowing the day.

                    That is an odd problem I haven't seen before. I have global board server time set correctly for Central Time, and the countdown is set for 1900 hours on November 10th, yet you are correct it is acting as if it thinks its at 2100 hours. Since we are in that "extra" week of DST that was added a few years ago, I will wait and see what happens after Saturday night.

                    BTW, for the slower SNers out there, the Newman game is NOT at 9 pm. Its at the usual time of after dinner and before the pre-bedtime refreshing beverage...

                      Maybe the countdown thingy isn't good to run afterall .. until it's accurate?

                        I'll tinker with it on Sunday after the time change, and adjust how I set the time accordingly.

                          It will only be accurate if the following three conditions are met:

                          1. Board time is correct
                          2. Time zone in your personal profile is correct.
                          3. You live in the central time zone. (Unfortunately, I don't think the gadget converts between zones.)

                          How this "extra week" affects it, I'm not sure.

                            When it was up the other day, the count down time timer was correct for me.

                            I looked at it maybe about 10-15 minutes before noon and it showed 7 hours, and aound 15-20 minutes till tipoff.
