And your timezone is EST ?
And in wp-admin/settings you’ve chosen an East Coast city in the timezone option ?
What version of WP and BP are you using ?
WP 3.5.1
BP 1.7b2, the one out last night
Do you feel comfortable adding a code snippet to bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php ?
If so, try adding this:
`update_option( ‘gmt_offset’, ‘-5’ );`
And then see if the problem still exists.
Either way, remove that snippet after testing.
And let us know what happened.
I didn’t have a bp-custom.php. I made one in wp-content/plugins/ and populated it with…
That didn’t work. Still showing “five hours ago” on both new status updates and replies.
FYI, I am in the UK.

I checked WP time settings. I was UTC -5.
I set it to London. No change.
I set it to UTC + 0. No change.
You’ll need to paste this snip in bp-custom, load the site, and then remove the snip.
`update_option( ‘gmt_offset’, ‘0’ );`
Still showing “5 hours ago”.
Was that just to undo the earlier snippet or something?
Yes, it was an undo.
My guess was that it was related to an issue where timezone is set via wp-admin, but gmt_offset remains empty.
I haven’t looked at the ajax re your report, but that would be the next step.
Ok, let me know if I need to file a bug report somewhere or something.
I believe your report is covered by:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4573
It’s a gremlin that doesn’t appear for most installs.
It’s been reported in various guises for quite awhile.
I was hoping that forcing a value into gmt_offset would solve it for you. :{
