Hi Znerp - I am big fan of this script, however - when I check the config, the last checked time shows:

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:19:24 GMT

The problem with that being that today is the 27th.

My computer is set properly so I am not sure what the problem is.

Why are you checking in about:config? Is there something wrong with the script? I see no reason for most users to be looking in there.

You wrote this post at 06:39 28/11/09 GMT, meaning that the script last checked 20 minutes prior to your posting this. I see no problem there. I can only assume that you are in a timezone > 7 hours behind GMT, which is what is causing you confusion. I can see nothing wrong with the script or your computer here though.

I am pacific standard time, which right at this very moment is 9:15pm on monday december the 14th. so the script was showing last checked time ahead of the actual time.

The reason I was in about:config at all was because I wanted to get the list of 'exfriends' and save it in a notepad file.

And my bad as this was a stupid error on my behalf and I do apologize for the confusion - although you may want to make a note of it somewhere so people in a similar circumstance do not encounter the same confusion :) if you want I will delete the thread.

Sorry again - E

I don't really know where I would note this or how I would phrase it; a massive majority of users will never go to about:config let alone check this script's settings, so drawing their attention to it would most likely cause more problems than it'll solve. Besides this, the time (as per your initial post) clearly says that it is in GMT. I could make it save in local time format, but as I am in the GMT timezone then this way seems easier if I wish to help debug someone's script.

No, don't worry about deleting the thread. If anyone has similar problems then perhaps this thread might help them or I can point them in this direction in future.
