Forum Times?

[maisany]

Just noticed that the posting times are based in some odd time zone. I posted something around 4:50 PM EDT but when I went back to look at it, the msg is listed as having been posted at 11:49 AM! That's five hours earlier, which would put it somewhere in he middle of he Pacific (Hawaii??). Is there some logic to basing the system clock on Guam time?

This is something you can control. Click on the USER CP button at the top of the page and then click on EDIT OPTIONS. Scroll down the page and you can indicate your time offset.

I don't think the BBS is configured correctly, Ron. I've had my setup set to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm off by 5 hours. I suspect that if I tell the software that I'm in Western Europe (GMT) then it would show the correct "EST" for me. Do you think you can recheck the master Admin setup for this?

ditto

I am also (at least according to my settings) set correctly to EST.

Maybe its me. I just think I'm in NYC, but I'm actually in Guam.

I had the same problem being off by 5 hours when I selected the Eastern time zone. After a few days I switched the time zone, I believe to the regular GMT and now the time is correct.

The Offset Is Off

It says clearly at the bottom of the Forums screen:

All times are GMT -5 hours. The time now is 06:13 PM

Except its now 11:24 PM. Apparently, it has been set for EST (GMT minus five hours, which is correct), but GMT is apparently not set correctly. I'm sure its a simple fix.
