Just to clarify, we are currently at about 994,000 post correct? I'm just asking because I remember Greg saying that the real post count was different due to a board reset years back.

I believe I corrected the count when that was discovered.

The number reported on the main page should match the number of posts.
Additionally, each post is given a number that we can check.

For example, this is post #993602
viewtopic.php?p=993602#p993602" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When we have a 1 millionth post, it will be:
viewtopic.php?p=1000000#p1000000" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(right now, you just get errors if you try to visit that page)

Quoting for a record of the above.

Just FYI for everyone: The site shows CENTRAL standard time when you log in. So if you could make all your entries in CENTRAL STANDARD TIME that would simplify everything. Sorry for the confusion with the initial post but we really DO mean CST

Changing my guess:

from 7/15/2015 at 3pm

to 7/10/2015 at 2am. I don't think anyone took that, but if so, I'll go with the next earliest available hour.

The time shown can be different for differerent people. When I log in it shows EST because I set the time to EST under User Control Panel>Board Preference>Edit Global Settings>My Timezone.

[drmirage]

Thanks for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct!

Rules are changed so that all guesses/entries will be in CST to simplify everything.

Oops, the setting for "Summer Time/DST is in effect" is currently "Yes" (except for certain areas that don't follow the whole set clocks forward/back thing).
