You will have to edit footer in your vBulletin template. Styles > Edit Template > Footer.

Now this is also necessary:

Code:

<body onload="updateClock(); setInterval('updateClock()', 1000 )">

Add this in header template. Beware not to rewrite whole <body> tag; there might be something put by vBulletin.

Of course, you will have to add custom CSS classes to clock JavaScript. You don't want it to be plain xD

I've got 11:48 pm.

The clock on my thing says ''All times are GMT+1'', and subsequently gives roughly the right time. But I happen to know that I operate ON Greenwich Mean Time! (Living almost on the Prime Meridian itself!!!)

I have GMT -7

You can change your setting re: GMT to correct it, the control is in your User CP.

What I want to know is why anyone actually looks at that? I didn't even know it was there until I saw this thread...when I want to know the time I look at the little clock in the lower right corner of my monitor which is getting its time off my cable provider and seems very accurate.

But it is giving the correct time! I doubt that the computer will believe me if I try to tell it that it is giving me the right time, but it thinks that it is somewhere else!

True, same here. The only reason I brought this up was due to curiosity. In addition, I don't know why it would be there if it only works when you refresh the page.

My guess is it's there to help us if we discover our posts seem to have the wrong time.

"...oh, look, the board clock doesn't match my computer clock! I guess I need to change my settings."
