I realize this could very well be a vbulletin issue, however since last night we have seen some strange occurances within our forum.

The time seemed to have gone ahead by 12 hours, all clocks were off, yet each user had the appropriate setting. Were we correct to assume it was a server issue? It has corrected itself at this time.

As of about 30 minutes ago, no new posts are moving up at all. Before I head over to the wolves at vbull, I was wondering if this could possibly be server related as well?

Please go easy on a newbie
Thank you!

have you logged into your cpanel to check the status of the server?

You'll certainly want to also make sure you have all VB patches installed...

On my server, I noticed the time was wrong. It thought it was Friday, the 3rd at 11:00 PM eastern, not AM. Right after I sent a ticket in, the time started reporting back correctly. Looks like last night around 11:00pm sometime, the time changed 12 hours ahead.

So... it's gonna be a messed up day as far as web stats and anything else dealing with the time is concerned. Must not have been an isolated thing since it appears to have occured on more than one server.

The time stamps on my forum posts are messed up too. One of my moderators alerted me regarding this issue.

I firmly believe that it's a Surpass Hosting problem (which is the reason why I came here to see whether anyone else is having the same issue). Apparently, I am not the only one.

It seems like the problem has been resolved now.

. . . at least for my site.

This has happened to my site as well. Its a VB site, all up to date and all the times have jumped back 12 hours so people are posting now and the posts are appearing before there last post from 12 hrs ago :P

Mine are SMF forums and running 18 minutes fast. SMF gets it's forum time from Host server so yea it is something with the Surpass servers I'd say.

This is a Cpanel issue that now should be solved by Cpanel.
(during night when upcp runs at servers with cpanel installed, time&date is synced, and below is explanation why time became ahead 12 hours whan a such sync was done)

The administrator at Cpanel "cpanelnick" says:

Due to a recent interruption in ntp on one of our servers, some
license requests were denied inadvertantly. This may have affected server times, bulletin boards and other software that relys on system time for operation. We have implemented a monitoring
system that will pull any time server out of the rotation in case an
event such as this occurs in the future. This system will guarantee no
interruption of license requests due to this issue. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience this may have caused and can guarantee that our
system will prevent future occurances.

Thank you for this post, I was still trying to find out why this was happening. I didn't think to check the cPanel forum for some reason, normally I go over there first.
