What's up, since today I had to change my timezone to GMT +3

That's not normal

Is this a bug ???

Good thing you posted something, my time wasn't right either.

Must be a bug.

I had to change mine from -5 to -4 also...

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 02 Jul 2003 02:39

I had to go from -7 to -5. Maybe I just had it wrong all along.

I had to set it to +2 instead of +1 to get properly time (as Owen said somewhere it can be time on server fault)

EDIETD, now I have to set it to 3 !

The time is really weird. I have my forum time set to GMT+1 (and my computer synchronised with the Internet) but this is what they show now.

It's not even just wrong in terms of hours!

Lilman424 · Post by **Lilman424** » 02 Jul 2003 06:20

the minutes are always off at the beginning of the month, I don't know why. But the hours normally aren't...

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 02 Jul 2003 19:10

My minutes have always been wrong, but as Lilman said, never hours. I don't usually use the clock on the index much anyways, but now with this topic, I'm paying more attention to it.

Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the time - the server admin is responsible for that. I'll speak to him about it when I see him online.

Good - the time's been corrected

. Now we can all reset our timezones!

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 06 Jul 2003 16:32

To get my correct time, I still have to be at the wrong timezone.

Post by **orudge** » 06 Jul 2003 16:38

OK, I'll set the phpBB timezone forward an hour. This means that everybody who has their timezone set to whatever it normally is plus one will now be an hour ahead.

So basically... SET YOUR TIMEZONE TO WHAT IT NORMALLY IS, WITHOUT DST. IF YOUR COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE DST FOR SOME REASON, SET IT AN HOUR EARLIER.

Apologies for the shouting, it wasn't intended as shouting.

EDIT: Hmmm, time seems to be an hour back now. I think phpBB is getting all confused. Let me try logging out then in again...

The system timezone doesn't seem to make any difference to the user's timezone... if anybody notices their timezone 4 hours out though, let me know and I'll put the system timezone back to the way it was.

So basically, set your timezone an hour forward for DST.

I reset it before (to the correct time), and now you did this and my time is still correct. I didn't do anything. It must've not effected me.

I mentioned this a while back in the "What's your time zone" topic. Does nobody listen to me? Daylight Savings means that the time settings must be adjusted. I'll just go and sit back in my corner and be ignored again.

way_2_fun · Post by **way_2_fun** » 07 Jul 2003 00:40

I'm a little slow / dumb, when exactly is daylight saving time?

Flavius · Post by **Flavius** » 07 Jul 2003 02:47

I have tried changing time zones, with little effect. However when i went into this topic i selected <last> post page and then <previous> it displayed all correct post dates.

This is when (in this coutry at least) the clocks are moved forward one hour during Summer to make the most of the weather. This is British Summer Time (BST) but the smae idea is used in other places and known as daylight savings time (DST)

May have solved my post date problems. In a post in another topic patch wizard eis_os spoke of a need to access his attachment settings. He said he would do this manually by firstly closing Cookies and afterwards reopening them.
So i cleared cookies,files and history in my browser and things are back to normal.
