HOW TO CHANGE THE TIME
First click on Profile, then scroll way down and watch on the left of your screen to "Edit Profile" - it is just above "Miscellaneous". Once you click on Edit Profile, scroll way down again until you come to the date and time options. Click on it and reset your time. Don't forget to click on "Save" after you change it. Then return to the message board & check to see if it worked.
PREVIEW PHOTOS
This feature does not exist. When you post photos, a little placeholder icon shows your photos have been added. You cannot actually view the photos until after you post. Hopefully this feature gets added in the next software version.
