Hey Matt,
I've noticed that the topic replies have been coming through email classified as a private message. For instance, this was posted in a topic:

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I just got back from a
mini-vacation with my family, and I'll be getting under the Volvo today to
see if I can find anything out. Going to order the PVC repair kit from FCP
Groton. This all started when I "fixed" that, so it's probably the best
place to start.
Also going to do a compression test. See what the cylinders are doing.
Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Justin, I noticed that too. At first I thought people were PM'ing me by accident.

Hmm. I went over the changes, and everything seems to be in place, nothing was incorrect.
So I changed the text file that is the email's boilerplate. Until I can track down what went wrong, at least it will look better.

I haven't touched the forum's time controls for a year at least... maybe several.
It could be the server, but that's very unlikely.
Are you SURE in User Control Panel -> Global Preferences you have none of the red selections checked?

AND you're logged in? Without logging in, you will get 24hr time.
