Question about the forum time

e30G · 09-24-2008, 03:52 PM

Ever since I played this game, the forum always seem to display the time 1 hour in advance to when the posts were actually made. For example, I can see the newest posts made at around 11:53pm when it's only 10:53pm where I am. I have the correct timezone selected in my profile (+8 GMT) and we do not have DST here.

edit: Even my post has the wrong timestamp

Hey e30ernest,

I live in GMT-5 and I have the DST corrections always off and my post time appears correctly.

How do you have your settings in your profile regarding that?

Regards.

I have mine set to GMT +8 (Beijing, Perth, Singapore, Hong Kong) with DST set to always off. It displays the same on all of the computers I use to browse the site so I doubt its a cookie issue.

Try to turn it on and see what happens.

It should correct the forum time for you, but i am not sure. Worth a try.

I think it should correct it, but I find it strange that I have to turn it on since we do not have DST where I am. Thanks for your time Wyatt!

No problem, I am glad I was of help.

e30G · 09-24-2008, 04:08 PM

Oh wait it made it worse lol. Turning on DST moved the time 2 hours ahead of mine.

Wyatt · 09-24-2008, 04:15 PM

Seems to me like you will have to move to GMT+7 in the forum.

Put DST always off.

Might solve the problem you have. Test it and see.

Testing time stamp on another PC...

edit: The forum time is still 1 hour ahead of my real time when I select my correct time zone. Wyatt, while your suggestion will definitely work, it'll just mask a problem (albeit a minor one) regarding the forum.

Yeah I figured it was a way around that problem.

I also tested it myself and was not able to get the correct time using the GMT+8 time zone, which is why I tried with GMT+7 to at least "solve" the issue for you at least.

I suggest you leave it at GMT+7 so at least you view the forum using that time zone, is definately a forum related problem with that.

At least we tried

.

Regards.
