    Forums Time Off...

    I think that the time may be off on the forums. I am China (GMT +8) but I have to set it to GMT +7 to get the correct local time. DST problem?

    I have set my time to GMT+1 and it works as it should. So I don't think that all times are set of.

    BTW maybe it is a summer time/winter time issue? Are you in summer time over there?

    Sorry for not knowing things like that. But I know at least all countries under EU has the sime winter/summer time...

    China doesn't change times. I even checked to be sure:
    and all China currently stays on GMT+8.

    and

    China, which spans five time zones, is always eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and it does not observe DST.

    Yeah the problem is GMT for the forums is actually BST at the monet, its because america is in Summer time now and the servers time is +1 hour to normal, this makes everything work correctly as long as you live somewhere that uses the summer time change. The only real solution is to chnage the timezone settings in your control panel until the summer time is over .
