Well done.  Good find.
Is that a one off event or something that needs a sync occasionally?

The server time will always be different to local time - it is adjusted in the software so that the time you see on screen is local time. There are four places that time is stored in the databases PLUS one on the cookie stored on your machine.

The problem I had was that I was inadvertently comparing the local time with the server time to determine whether there were new posts since your last visit to a topic - it now uses the server time for both topic visit and last post so should work as expected and in sync with the green arrow.
