Unexpected behavior for some article dates

[MatthewTurk247]

For recent articles, sometimes the datetime appears to be several hours into the future. I recommend taking a look at the fromNow() method that is called in Carousel.js and Diptych.js.

Sure! I have assigned you to the issue. Are you able to pull a local copy of the dev branch?

Hi @MatthewTurk247, I am not able to understand the exact issue. Can you help me explain the exact issue?

In helpers/format.js, there is a function that is returning the wrong value for the dates of articles. As you can see in the screenshot above, the featured article at the top says that it was published "in 6 hours," which does not make sense. Seems like the date/time is being slightly offset and needs some readjustment. I am not sure why the offset is there, but you could try rewriting the fromDate() function to see what works.
