No, but if you want your screen name changed I'll gladly come up with a name for you.

On a side note, I'm adding a backup server to our setup this week. Probably won't incur any downtime. During the move I'm going to add some new things to keep you entertained, because we're all about keeping you guys entertained.

The TMN Top-25 will also make its debut this week. That will probably be good for some discussion.

For those that can't make the game and want to discuss it in real time, chat will be available in a couple hours.

Yeah...that's the primary reason for the work this week. Chat just refuses to install so now I'm using the scorched earth policy to install it.

Chat will undoubtedly lure that damn Pyro back like deer estrogen on a pair of muck boots....

Kevin I have a really dumb question and it doesn't have anything to do with the site but........my laptop will not keep the current time. It changes to about 10 minutes slower every time I try to change it. The timezone is correct, the time is right in my BIOS, I don't understand how a brand new laptop can't even keep the correct time.

I'd check to make sure you're hitting a time server.

1. Open Date and Time by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock.
2. Click the Internet Time tab, and then click Change settings.
3. Select the check box next to Synchronize with an Internet time server, select a time server, and then click OK.

You can use time.windows.com but I like to use time-a.nist.gov, which is in Gaithersburg MD.

You can be hitting a time server but not often enough to keep your time in check. Here's a document that shows you how to hit a time server daily. That should fix any issues.

It is unusual (but not unheard of) that your CMOS battery needs replacing, although I think if it was bad your BIOS time would be off.

Is TMNmobile.com not functioning, or is it something I'm doing/not doing? I can access the full site, but not mobile.:

TMNMobile is in the process of being moved. On top of that, the previous configuration was logging people out frequently so that needed fixed. I'll post when it is back up but fixing mobile is part of the upgrade this week.
