      From: nospam.Christian.Sacks@f5.n250.z2.fidonet.org              Hey g00r00,              Am I being dense here, or has there always been an issue with posts that have a       future date due to being sent from someone on a bbs with a future timezone       being unable to set as read until the date of the message is older than the       current date in the bbses timezone I'm reading it on?              Example;       There's a post in here sent from a BBS in Australia (+11 hours from me) and the       date of the message is 24th Jan 2023 09:47am       Even though I've read it, it still shows as unread in the message list because       my current date/time is 23rd Jan 2023 08:47pm.       Once my local timezone says the date is 24th Jan 2023 09:48am, if I read the       message again, now it will be marked as read.              Has this always been an issue and I've just never paid it any attention, or is       this something new?       Would love to know either way just to settle my own peace of mind as to whether       I've gone a bit broken in my mind or not.                     Cheers =)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
