It's not a big deal, but I noticed it, so I thought I'd bring it up.

The time stamps in the Forum Spy are wrong. I'm in US Central time (and my computer as well as time zone setting in in profile both say as much). Right now it's 10:25am, but Spy is telling me that the latest posts are at 3:25. This is true on my iMac as well as my iPhone.
 
Yes, its a known issue as mentioned by arn

We have a version of spy up and running:
https://forums.macrumors.com/spy/

A few caveats:

- Style / formatting could be better
- Timestamps aren't in the right timezone
- No way to exclude forums
- No other nice features like followed threads are indicated
- formatting is broken on iPhone

It's pretty bare bones, but it works.

The plan will be to clean this up, and also include the ability to block specific forums. Hopefully, we'll have a single solution so users can block specific forums in both New Posts and Spy.
