Last view: 6075 days 		The board's time seems to be an hour fast. Setting my profile timezone offset to -6 hours gets me 3:02 pm, while it's only 2:02 pm here. Of course it's easy to work around, by setting my time to -7, but I thought I'd bring it up.

Timezone offset is relative to board time (GMT+1), not to GMT.

Board time should be relative to EST, like the old board was... of course, I'm biased because I live in EST

I think at this point it'd just be difficult to change...

If I had my way, everything on the internet would be.

Maybe we should have a dropdown list for timezone offset, for people who are unsure about manually setting it. I don't need to change it though, as I live within the same timezone as the server.

It's only a few queries (only the daily stats in stats.php would be wrong), but I might as well leave it like this ...

At least the ACS can still be based on EST if I make it 6:00 AM server time

Thanks for the idea, though.

<!--stupid center and width hack-->
How difficult would it be to list all the timezones as a drop down anyway?

Not that it's that hard for me to work out my odd offset (GMT +09.30) but yeah

I don't even know where to get the itmezones from.

Time zones confuse me. I just tried a whole bunch of different numbers in the Timezone Offset field until I found the right one.

Last view: 6144 days 		Wikipedia has a list of all the time zones in the world. Although I think a GMT offset would be fine, much better that a "server time" offset which would be different on other boards that are on servers in other timezones. I always have to think when entering the offset on an Acmlmboard.
