Time: Not On Our Side

Several older versions of our Windows Extensions application are experiencing a problem with obtaining the time from NIST. For the first time in the over three years we have been running Dexrex, NIST is reporting that it may be off by as much as five whole seconds! This is causing problems in some really old dorm room code that was kicking around in the bowels of the app. Those running older versions (version 5.306 and below) will see a delay of around 24 hours between when they send their messages and when they appear on our website. To fix this immediately, upgrade to the latest version at our download page. Otherwise, we expect that NIST's time servers will sort themselves out within a week, and things will return to normal. Sorry for any inconvenience!
