Forum Time

[Ellerit]

The timestamps on all the forum posts are correctly adjusted for the timezone I set in my options.

But the line at the bottom of the page that marks in what zone I'm viewing is incorrect!


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:52AM.


:looks at the clock: The time is indeed 10:52am, but the offset is GMT -5.

I rechecked it in my options and it is set to -5; it is simply displaying incorrectly on the bottom of each page.

The 'timezone' (or rather, your time offset from GMT/UTC) at the bottom is one hour off because of the Daylight Saving time corrections. It is, in fact, correct :)

I'm at GMT-5 and it it displaying the correct time.

My says +1 becouse of Daylight Saving time which is correct as i am in GMT time zone but as long as the time is correct i would not worry about the offset IMHO :D

Mine shows the correct time as well.

Cookies have nothing to do with it. Your preferences aren't saved in cookies, they are stored in the forum database itself. That's why your prefs are still set when you log in on another computer (or with another browser on the same pc).

The "GMT +/-X" at the bottom is one hour off from your timezone if DST is in effect and you have selected "auto-correct" or "always on" for DST in your preferences. That's it. There is no other problem.

Ah, of course! Thank you.
