Hi Drew, Try to use the ISO 8601 format (see OOzy Pal's recent message). Timeline has its own code to parse ISO 8601, resulting in the same behavior on all browsers, whereas if no format is specified, then Timeline delegates the date/time parsing to the browser, and different browsers parse date/time slightly differently.
