LaoPo Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Below is just an example: Your base time zone The time (including your current adjustment) is: 2007-03-29 01:19:05 this shows on my 'controls'. In fact my posted messages shows a time which is still 'wintertime' in Europe.... so in fact it is now 1 hour later 02:19:05 I am at: GMT +1 hour (but the messages show the 'old' wintertime.)

LaoPo You're not trolling are you LP ? It is perfectly conceivable that software on a site in the tropics might not be totally au fait with the vagaries of winter/summer times in the less salubrious regions of the globe. A couple of decades ago I was given a gift by Japanese colleagues which was supposed to tell you the time anywhere on the globe at the push of a button. It did not miraculously adjust itself when regions passed from winter to summer time so it was fairly useless and I binned it. When you are unsure what day it is then you should worry.

Tywais Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Under 'My Controls' Board Settings, do you have DST selected? It auto adjusts for day light savings time but don't know how accurate it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't know about Europe but the US has gone to daylight savings time earlier than usual this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't know about Europe but the US has gone to daylight savings time earlier than usual this year. Does seem the US and Europe are not synchronous > DST and could explain the discrepancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The board is using Bangkok (GMT+7) as Native Server Time Zone. If you have chosen the correct timezone and the clock is an hour out, this is because of daylight savings time and you can correct this by editing your 'Board settings' via your User Control Panel.

george Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Looking at the Time settings on the server we have this thingie activated as well: DST Auto Detection When daylight saving time auto-detection is enabled, your member's profiles will be automatically updated with the correct time. Not sure Auto detection is working correct, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoPo Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Thank you Gents, for the info ! I wasn't familiar with the 'DST' auto detection-expression. But it's OK now. Thanks again. LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
