    Default Yesterday

    Did "Yesterday" just disappear? If so, why? I quite liked it.

    [edit]
    Actually, it seems to be some kind of fluke. Does it have to do with a new week starting and it being midnight? Hasn't happened before to my knowledge though....

    To explain what I mean:





    Everything that should show up as "yesterday" shows up as 09/03/08.
    The only "yesterday" that does show up is actually a post from 08/03/08..... and it clearly is the 10th I think...

    Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
    Now it looks as if there here to stay,
    Oh I believe in yesterday.

    Anyhow, back to topic, I haven't noticed such a problem. Everything seems to be as it should be in all of the forums I've visited so far.

    It should read "Gestern" and not yesterday anyway. I tested out the German skin and still had "yesterday" (Gestern) working properly.

    Everything looks fine now though....must be a problem with the timezone, start of the new week and the forum software I guess...

    No problems here. Probably a time zone thing?

    Could be timezone, I know American Daylight Savings Time happened over the weekend. That might have had something to do with it as well.

    The settings haven't been changed. It may be a glitch with timezones indeed, maybe it will happen again next Sunday?

    That's my suspicion as well. Might've caused the forum software to go wonky for a little bit.

    Yesterday is just a term given by people to describe events which happened in the "past". Since the terms 'past', 'present', and 'future' are all subjective (one would argue that there is no present, as the moment they do mention the present, it becomes the past, like in Space Balls), and that time itself is aspatial and holds no actual scientific data to suggest such a thing exists in a material world, "where has yesterday gone" is a question best left to psychology professors and conspiracy theorists.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
