The messaging uses the server time and date, not your computer's time. When a message is sent, it's in the database immediately. It is also immediately displayed to the recipient, when the recipient hits any page here at Plus/4 World.
So, for example, let's say you open the forum page after you sent your message at 17:26:10. James sends his message at 17:26:20, ten seconds later. If you keep looking at the forum page, nothing happens. You probably just closed your browser window. If you click on anything though (games page, any forum topic, anything) the message will be displayed.
I hope you can see the difference. If a message is send, nothing will happen on your computer until you "pick it up".
