I just now revisited the Web page for scheduling a phone appointment. It says "Mountain Time", not "Mountain Standard Time". Selecting an icon adjacent to that displays a tooltip that explains the indicated time zone. The tooltip says: "The time zone is based on your computer system's clock." You can view all that at <http://www.rossde.com/test/timezone-1.jpg>. I then launched Microsoft's Data and Time window. It says that my time zone is "(UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)". You can view that at <http://www.rossde.com/test/timezone-2.jpg>. All this tells me that the problem is at Vanguard. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump demands loyalty to himself from Republican members of Congress. I always thought that members of Congress -- House and Senate -- were required to be loyal to the people of the United States. In any case, they all swore an oath of office to be loyal to the Constitution. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
