Problem with time of post on the forum

Woodywizz · 19-10-2007, 7:03 PM

I'm posting this at about 20.03, but it says on the left that it was posted at 19.03

, why? The main forum clock is correct.

**IronGiant** · 19-10-2007, 7:24 PM

It says "Today, 8:03 PM" here...

Can you click on Control panel at the top of the page, in your control panel find edit options, scroll down to :

Date & Time Options
Time Zone
All timestamps displayed on the forums can be automatically corrected to show the correct time for your location in the world. Simply select the appropriate time zone from the list below.
Time Zone: GMT
In addition, you may set the appropriate option to allow for daylight savings time in your part of the world.
DST Correction Option: ON

and check that the items in bold are selected (or the equivelant option)

I'd already checked that Dave and it was all fine - on GMT and DST on, but it's still doing it. This is bugging me now

*avinitski* · 19-10-2007, 10:09 PM

Is your system clock correct?

Woodywizz · 19-10-2007, 10:11 PM

Yep - the system clock is showing circa 23.10, but this post will undoubtedly show to me that it was posted at 22.10

signs · 19-10-2007, 10:16 PM

Have you been drinking ?

Woodywizz · 19-10-2007, 10:19 PM

Yep - but this is really annoying me now

pave · 19-10-2007, 10:24 PM

Its.........wait..........yeah....its october.....

If I can be of asistance in the future,feel free to ask......

Singh400 · 19-10-2007, 10:34 PM

Testing to see the time.

Edit* The time is fine for me. Check your board settings. Try turning DST on/off.

Dony · 19-10-2007, 11:02 PM

All together now......"Lets do the Time Warp again".......

I'm sure someone else had the same problem a couple of weeks ago......tried searching for ya but can't seem to find it. Not sure if he got it resolved. Great help I am.

Thought I would share my Date & Time Options...

Time Zone: (GMT) Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon, Casablanca
DST Correction Option: DST corrections always on
Start of the Week: Monday

Edit* Yep, still showing the correct time for me.

Abbeygoo · 20-10-2007, 8:06 AM

Is your system ahead of time in that it has already put the clocks back?

miceri · 20-10-2007, 8:53 AM

Maybe he just wants an extra sneaky hour in bed this morning...

That's solved it - cheers mate

My start of the week was "Sunday" - funny thing is, I have never changed these settings since day one on these forums and it was always fine..weird. Fixed now though and that's what matters.

Setenza · 20-10-2007, 9:19 AM

That's a relief. I was losing sleep over this.

No problems mate.

Edit* Correct time is still shown

Ron240 · 21-10-2007, 9:10 AM

Been reading this with interest....but the start of the week day is not the key...even though it appeared to cure the problem.
My start of the week is Sunday,same as woodywizz,and my time has always been correct..so must be something else that caused it.

Probably doesnt make any difference,but my DST correction option is set to Automatically detect DST settings.

**IronGiant** · 02-11-2007, 11:54 AM

Just to drag this up again, I'm an hour out on my laptop, at the bottom of the page it says:

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 12:54 PM.

regardless of DST auto or on or day of the week

The only thing I can think of that might have any relevance is that when I switched on all the cookies from both IE and Firefox had myseriously dissappeared so I had to log in from scratch

**IronGiant** · 02-11-2007, 12:21 PM

Although the system clock was correct the system calendar was on 2 October 2007, changing it to November had no effect until I changed from DST changes on, to, automatically detect DST, now everything is as it should be

stealther · 02-11-2007, 1:13 PM

I just had to change my start of week day from sunday to monday to show the correct time as well.
A bit weired but as the clocks went back on sunday at 2am perhaps its to do with that?

Singh400 · 02-11-2007, 3:41 PM

Just changed DST to always off.

Ron240 · 02-11-2007, 3:50 PM

It looks like nobody knows for sure what the correct setting are..and if they do...other people wont believe them and will make their own settings regardless.

I have never had a problem with the forum time displaying correctly,and i have always had the most logical setting(to my mind)for DST - to automatically detect.
