..thinks I'm connecting from another IP that is not mine.

I mean, in my posts, the forum says my IP is 67.76.32.131, but for sure it isnt!

I would guess it's behind some sort of reverse proxy or a loadbalancer that does source-NAT?

Also, why the forum dont let me set my time zone? Or Im blind or there is no option for timezone. I dont like to be continously calculating times.... :angry: :angry:

You can set the time offset under Profile > Look & Layout. Mine is set to 7 and you're in the same timezone :)
