This could be a result of transitions on to or off of daylight saving time, either in Boston where our servers are located, or in your home time zone.

Also, very occasionally, we have moved move auction closing times back if we were expecting the web site will be unavailable for a certain period of time. These moves always result in a later closing time, never an earlier one.

Is all of this happening on the same computer? Or are you using multiple computers?

If the latter, then maybe the computers are set for different timezones, so BB is displaying the correct "local" time but the computer's time itself is wrong?

thanks, this is _almost_ the solution...

i just checked and there is a two-hours difference on the transfer deadline (both bookmarks and player page) when I check it on a PC and when I check it on the sucky web browser of my Nokia phone - yes, I admit I use that from time to time (guess this belongs in the "addicted to BB" category).

but both clocks are set to GMT+1 and display the same time...

hm, maybe a bug in the browser implementation on the phone? for that one would need to know in which format the time is transferred to the browser I guess.

Whoa, I might've gotten something right. I should bookmark this. :)
