I know it's probably not a big deal, but I'm just curious as to how I already have posts in December, when it's not December for another 3 hours.

I think it's because the monthly post count is set on Greenwich time GMT 0

I think it's set to GMT-4, the default for the registration process. In any case, the post counter's time is not set to your local time by default. It has its own time and that is why it thinks it is December even though for you, it may not be December yet. Thus, you have posted in the future. :o

Yeah, I've noticed that before-- I thought it was pretty unusual. Explanation makes sense, though. Nothing to get huffy over. heh. I also notice how I can raise my own fame twice in "one" day due to this fact, by checking it once at say, 5 o'clock, and other time at say, 11 o'clock. :o

I noticed something similar myself several months back but, as others have pointed out, the logical assumption is that the post breakdowns are based upon the board's time rather than the time zone for each individual member.

I doubt that would work consistently, since it would still work off of a 24 hour period, so if you hadn't checked your profile for several days, you might be able to take advantage of the "overlap" but if you regularly checked your profile each day, it would still only register a one point increase since you had previously used the initial view.
