My clock always agrees with with theirs regarding post times (Central Standard/Daylight).

Re: Clock
Thanks. Mine is an hour behind. Not sure what my post time is. Current location is Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. In a map, at our right are the minor antilles and at the left is the Dominican Republic/ Haiti. Could you please help me find out what is my post time?

Post time is in the upper left corner. Your last post shows for me as 3:18AM.
Btw, if you want to link to a post, it's right there.

Re: Clock
My time zone is AST according to the computer's clock. Is that eastern, western or something different in relative with the time zones in the US continental?

Atlantic Standard Time. Should be right for Puerto Rico. They're GMT-4 all year round.
Those of us in the midwest toggle between -5 and -6 depending on the time of year. Could be a daylight savings issue (Puerto Rico doesn't do it, iirc.)
