That is indeed strange. I can see what I can do without fingerprinting (as it automatically sets the time zone to UTC), so maybe that should fix it.
I don't think this has to do with your fingerprinting configuration... The system shouldn't be looking at your clock to determine what is or isn't posted. It should be looking at the clock on the instance, and the publication time set on the post.
If that's the case, the instance I use is in PST, so that's real strange.
Yeah, time zones shouldn't make a difference either... From what I can gather, the internal storage of the messages uses GMT, and then the instance adjusts for whichever timezone it's in... The only reason I'm using CST is that's what PieFed comes up with by default for me (which it does by looking at my system), because that's the time zone I'm in.
