Aggie87 Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 (edited) I really like the feature on this board that allows you to customize the time setting to your local area, and not pre-set to the U.S. west coast (or wherever the BNBB was set to). However, I've recently noticed that even with the correct setting for my area (GMT +1), the times listed on the posts are one hour off - meaning I'm posting this at 1323, but it "shows" as being posted at 1223 by the software. I can get around this by saying I'm in GMT+2, but that's not really correcting the problem, just masking it. Anyone else having this problem lately? And if so, have you figured out how to solve it? Or can a board person figure this out? Thanks Erik Edited April 28, 2003 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 It's probably because I have the board clock set to recognize Daylight Savings Time. It's a crazy midwestern thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 (edited) If you're in the Central European Time zone: - click on "my controls"; - click on "board settings"; - go to "time zone": - choose "GMT + 1"; - tick "daylight savings time" box, and you get the right time, which at the moment is GMT + 2. P.S. What is known as "summer time" in Europe, is called "daylight savings time" in the U.S. Edited April 28, 2003 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 That's better, I can relate better to British Summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
