Walddk Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 After we all changed to daylight saving/winter whatever time at the end of October, the computer clock did too (1 hour back where I am). All is fine, and our VG schedule seems perfect. However, it seems like we lost 1 hour in the Forums. 14 minutes ago I sent a post in another thread. Was at 4:13 pm my time. Nevertheless, it shows 5:13 pm as if we didn't change the time. This post will now show 5:27 pm, although it's actually 4:27 pm. Gerardo, where are you?

inquiry Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You don't need Gerardo for this. Time is a personal setting on this board. If you have chosen the correct timezone for yourself and the clock is an hour out, this is because of daylight savings time and you can correct this by editing your 'Board settings' via their User Control Panel. From anyplace, click "MOD CP" on top of screen. Then click "Board settings", and then remove the check mark by "daylight savings" ... . Ta da...

Walddk Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Pure magic! Thanks Ben. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Figuring out the daylight saving problem, reordering the Full disclosure discussion group, and all in one day. If I am not careful, someone might get the mistaken idea I am partially competent at computers.... which I am not. :-) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Did you change the wording of that checkbox? When I first noticed that times were off by an hour, I went to the settings, and I think it was labeled "Automatically adjust for daylight savings time". This made it sound as if the system would figure out whether I'm in DST all by itself, which is obviously not what it does. I unchecked the box anyway, and things were OK.

All that wording is provided by this, commercially available, software. I can't change it (or at least, I have no earthly idea how... which is the same thing I guess).

barmar Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I thought it *did* change. Now it's labeled "Is daylight savings time in effect?", which makes more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
