I set up a Profilactic lifestream at http://www.daniel-sale.com/lifestream/ , but the time stamps for items are way off. I made sure my timezone is correct in WordPress, in options for the Profilactic plugin, and on Profilactic itself. Have I missed something?
Also, the coloring option for links that are hovered over seems to work in IE, but not Firefox.

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
wp-content/plugins/profilactic/profilactic.php on line 304
MySQL 5.0
Wordpress 2.5
What can it be?

@danielsale: On the Wordpress Profilactics Options/Settings page, does the "Output" time accurately reflect the timezone you're expecting? (I'd assume not, but asking just to cover the bases).
How many hours is the timestamp off by? It could be an issue with the GMT time set on the server that wordpress is hosted on (not passing the buck, just pointing out possibilities)
The simplest solution would be to just change the timezone in the Profilactic plugin Options page so that the output is as you expect.
Changing your timezone on the plugin page will have no effect on any other portion of your site.
I know the timezone code is working for at least a handful of other users, but I'll ask other users if they just edited the timezone or even noticed the time was off.

@danielsale: I'll add a todo task to clean up the CSS code for better cross-browser compatibility. (confession: I use Opera didn't really test much with IE or FF!)

Yeah, the outputted time in Profilactic Options is correct. I suspect it may be the server that my site is hosted on, as you suggested. I'll see what I can do to get it to reflect the proper time.

Ok, I changed the timezone in WordPress/Profilactic Options, and it didn't appear to have any effect on what time is displayed in the lifestream at all.

So, you're saying the times that were displayed on your lifestream remained the exact same even after you changed the timezone in WP/Profilactic Options!? Now that's odd!
1) Are you using any caching plugins? Also, are you sure the browser isn't showing cached data?
2) What values are you using under the "Timezone" and "Time Format" options?
3) Exactly how many hours is the time off by?
4) Do you have any other plugins installed that use a timestamp and work correctly? If so, can you send me the name of the plugin.
This plugin uses a standard php function (gmdate(), which works in PHP4 and PHP5) to pull the time values from the profilactic feed and format it according to your preference and timezone under the Profilactic options page. I just verified it again and everything checks out on the server I tested it on... Additionally, if you have the SimplePie plugin installed, then the function that gets called is slightly different (still, it is parsing the time from the profilactic rss feed). So, that would mean we are parsing the time two different ways and still getting the same results... which would lead me to believe it isn't (directly) a plugin issue.
5) Can you try installing/activating the SimplePie Core Plugin and see if it gives you the same results?
6) If you open your profilactic feed in an rss reader, does it show the times accurately?

It's fixed :)
The SimplePie Core Plugin did the trick. The times are now accurate.
Thank you VERY much.
I wonder what happened, though. I know I had SimplePie installed at some point when I was using another lifestreaming plugin, but I thought that was deleted when I deleted the plugin.
