The forum clock seems to be off by an hour.

Post by littlefuzzy »

I am on GMT-6 Hours (Central Time, US) and that is what I set on my profile, but posts are showing up at 9:48 PM, although it is 10:48 PM here.

We do observe Daylight Savings Time here, so I don't know if that would affect it or not.

For me, your post shows up as 11:52. You should be able to adjust the clock in your profile, but unless you're signed in, it will revert to the default, which I think is my timezone. I'm on GMT-4 hours in my profile, so maybe that's where the problem lies. I just did that for Daylight Savings, since I wasn't aware of anyway to change the forum clock itself. If I do it now, it'll be one hour off for everyone, I think. Hmm.

Yeah, me too but I don't really care. It's not hard to remember that.

An hour off for moi aussi! Could this have anything to do with when the clocks went back or forward a few weeks ago?

I think you had to manually adjust the forum clock for yourself then. When not signed in, the forum clock is at the current Eastern Time Zone, as it always is and has been.

Yup, that happens every spring and autumn - noticed it myself a couple of times. You have to adjust the clock manually whenever Daylight Saving Time begins or ends. It's not automatic. So... yeah. The end. :P

Thanks for the update Paka. I thought the server or forum system updated the time. I didn't notice it because the time setting I use doesn't use Daylight Saving Time.

Not a big deal either way... :P However, I have seen other phpbb forums that have an option in the member's profile to automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time.

Would this be able to be implemented here, or is it a lot of work for a little fix?
