[SOLVED] Time shown incorrect?

druuna · 03-29-2005, 05:55 AM

Hi,

Since switching to DST this weekend the time on this board is off by one hour (12:52 instead of 13:52 at the time of writing this). Checked my settings and they seem to be correct.

Do we need to wait untill all countries switch to DST before this changes again?

Do you have "Use Daylight Saving Time" set to "yes" in the options page of your User CP?

Hi,

DST set to yes,
"BST, Brussels Copenhagen" is the 'timezone' i'm in. (re-saved both to make sure)

The US switches DST on april 3rd, could that have anything to do with it?

To be honest, I thought my times were reading right yesterday but having just seen your post mine are an hour out as well.

You may be right about the April the 3rd thing. I've tried disabling and enabling the option and it has no effect. These Americans are late for everything

Hi,

Just checked another forum (US based: www.unix.com) I use, shows the correct time with the same settings I have here........

I do wonder who played with the time settings

It's not that big of a problem (for me), but it would be nice to see the correct time

With my settings, the time is dead on for me comparing LQ.org time and CST.

Times will likely be off for European countries that have a different DST date than the timezone that the server is in.

This is LQ time. I've lost hours on it and it aint 'cause of no international date line....
