Looking at my stats now for azoogle and yahoo, and I have been assuming that by using EST for each I am getting correlating information.

Yahoo states:

The data for this report is complete through Monday, June 4, 2007 2:00:00 AM EST.

However, the official US time (http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java) is 12.57 Sunday, June 3.

azoogle is about 2 minutes fast, but I can forgive them that ;)

What is going on with the Yahoo time? Any ideas?

Hmm thats really weird, its showing up fine in my account, sounds like just something with your account, give them a call or send an email, yahoo is extremely good at customer support.

unless you get sarah oconnor.
everytime i get her, she always comes up with reason why she can't do what i need.
nowadays as soon as she identifies herself when she picks up the phone, i just hang up.

Is there a way to change timezone on YSM? I'd like to set it same as Azoogle.

I signed up for another YSM account on Friday; I remember it saying 'this cannot be changed later' so I checked what timezone azoog was using. I can't actually recall this step when I created my other accounts, but it was a while ago.

Anyone else had dealings with her? Lazy Biatch!
