No no I'm not talking about the race track. It's 9:27a.m. and my new reply to Kelly says 1:18p.m.

Hi, Carol Ann -
The forum clock is set on the Central Time Zone - specifically, whatever the current time is for Houston, Texas.
Given that the USA has added three weeks to Daylight Savings Time, some computer programs do not automatically adjust - yet - for the extra weeks. Also, I do not believe that the Houston area, or maybe the State of Texas, participates in Daylight Savings. In that case, the time difference will be an additional hour off, for most of us, any way.
I just checked, and for me being in the Eastern Time Zone, and adding the extra hour for Daylight Savings (which began today), the forum clock is correct - 2 hours "behind" what my clock reads. May I suggest you check your clock settings on your computer? Also, double check your Profile for the clock settings, which should be located towards the bottom section; you may need to adjust it. Mine, for example, reads "GMT - 6 hours."
For the record, we do know that we have an on-going problem with the clock in the Chat Room, but that, of course, is a separate issue.

Dear Carol Ann and Silverlady,
Through experience, I have found that the server (wherever it may be located) has often not made the Daylight Savings/Standard time change, so I usually go into my profile and change the time setting there from GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time) to GMT-4 (Eastern Daylight Savings Time).
This is purely a cosmetic effect (no not makeup) to the time you see as to the last time you logged on, the current time as listed on the main index page and the time of any posts which are (given the above settings) given in my local time (eastern).
The clock on my computer or anyone else's does not seem to have any effect on the time as displayed by the forum.
