No
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

Nope. Yours was invalid as roblo claimed too high and yours was the last post before that, so you can't claim again.

Well, I think it was because the clocks have changed during the course of the week and I have been going off of BST, which is UTC +1 and not GMT/UTC +0 and according to the clock on my computer at the time, it was saying that I was with in the time. I might have a look actually to see if there is a way within PHP BB to see if it can be set to change to daylight savings time automatically instead of what I have just done which is manually within the UCP.

OK - It's happened again. ROBLO: User Control Panel - Board preferences - My timezone - UTC+01:00. Should be the same as everyone's then

I hadn't noticed that, though I did see the post in the Rules and Discussion thread just after that!

What do we do then? Not let him play?

Actually, try making it UTC+02:00. You are an hour behind, try moving forward
