The time is set to where the server is. Have a look at the bottom of the page for the current server time. I am on the East Coast of Australia and rollover is at 2pm on Monday and Wednesday for us.

okay so now its 2pm for you in West Australia, 2am for me in New York... looks your deadline is a full 12 hours before mine is and what the actual website indicates?

The time the website says for me always figures in the time difference. Hence at 8PM on Sunday Night It would say 1 hour remaining.

Susie, I suspect it said 16 minutes remaining and you just saw the 16 and assumed hours.

I usually hit CTRL C to copy anything length that I write before I submit it. Often, when I don't I regret it. It has saved me a lot of time and frustration many times and on other sites as well when something goes wrong.

Current server time, which is used for DPChallenge is posted at the bottom of the homepage, and any other page at DPC, the last item. It is Eastern Time in the US (New York time). If you figure out the hours difference, you will then have an Aussie time for challenge posting deadline.
We still want to see the shot, so maybe you can post it in the free study or in a thread? : )
