    Whacked out time zones.... [RESOLVED - with a work around ;-)]

    Not too sure if this is the place to post this......... but......


    All times are GMT -6 hours. The time now is 08:25 PM.

    This is out an hour. At GMT -6000 it is 07:25 PM.

    Still wacky, its only 12:35PM.

    I'm in the -6:00 time zone. If you look in the Windows Time Zone (in the clock area) you will see we have our own time zone called Saskatchewan. This is because we don't recognize Daylight Savings.

    If I am the only person having this problem, then perhaps we can mark up another bug for phpBB (if that is what this board is).

    These boards are vBulletin, and they have issues with Daylight Savings Time, and it's been addressed in the past. I think even the new version (3.0) has a fix for this.

    The best you can do is just adjust it to whatever it needs to be to display the correct time, even if it's the wrong time zone.

    No problem. Hopefully the folks at vBulletin will have it fixed in newer versions.

    And btw, welcome to VBForums.

    Current versions of vBulletin (this forum software) don't support daylight savings time. The next version does. As suggested, the easy thing to do is simply adjust your time zone to one that works for now.
