March 29, 200719 yr 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

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.
March 29, 200719 yr 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.
March 29, 200719 yr I don't know about Europe but the US has gone to daylight savings time earlier than usual this year.
March 29, 200719 yr 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.
March 29, 200719 yr 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.
March 29, 200719 yr 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.
March 29, 200719 yr Author Thank you Gents, for the info ! I wasn't familiar with the 'DST' auto detection-expression. But it's OK now. Thanks again. LaoPo
