Time stamps on messages

Author: kdk ★2017

I was checking the time stamps on the messages in the thread about the marching band accident that I just responded to to see how long it had been up. Glenn's original post showed a time stamp 2018-11-28 17:09 (5:09 PM on 11/28). After I posted to it, the original post now says 2018-11-18 09:32. Apart from the fact that my having posted seems to have changed the time of the original post, the time that showed at first 5:09 PM today hasn't come yet except somewhere in Europe. Even if the time shown is GMT rather than local time anywhere, why would it have changed?

I noticed, as I looked at the rest of the Topic listings, that a lot of them that I'm pretty sure have been up for more than a day or two also show 2018-11-28 (today, at least here in the U.S.) time stamps.

(1) Are the time stamps showing GMT?

(2) Even if that's the case, why would the dates (never mind the time) seem too recent?

(3) Is this something my browser is doing locally (can the HTML code for the date be interpreted differently in different browsers)?

(4) Why would the date/time stamp for a given thread or post change from one browser session to another?

Thanks for any explanation. I'm sometimes interested to know when a posting was made.

Karl
