It is with great pain that I write this, as I've over the past week been infected with the awesomeness of stacker news. I promised myself to be devoted to making a post or 2 every day to see how consistent I could be at accumulating the cowboy hats. Seeing that some Stackers like @koob @Rsync25 et al, have impressive streaks, I challenged myself to also going as far as possible. You can imagine my disappointment after coming on here, only to find that my cowboy hat was gone.

I don't know if it is reversible, but I sure am peeved and curious as to the schema used in calculating, cos if it's the 24 hr mark, I sure as hell didn't miss yesterday as I made this post before going to bed yesterday.

I had initially made this mistake some months back while trying to achieve this goal but having discovered what I thought was a hack (aligning to the US time difference), I thought I should give it a go. Apparently, it would seem that even following that might be wrong.

I propose a change in allowing individual stackers have their time zone peculiar to them so that these sorts of issues be avoided.

I still love this site with passion, I am just a bit set aback by this disappointment
