    Resolved Time Zones not showing correct time

    I dunno if this is a real major issue or not, but for some reason, my time zone (GMT+10 Sydney Australia...) is 1 hour out, we recently had daylight savings yesterday and it is now 1 hour slow, and i'm not exactly sure that before the change if it was 1 hour fast or not. Is there some setting to enable daylight savings or just put up with it? It isn't really that major, just a little inconsistent.

    I'll have someone check the time on the server to make sure it is correct -- that it updated for daylight savings.

    Please check in your User CP (link via button above) to see that your setting is correct. It appears that things are correct on the server.

    Well, I am absolutly certain that I'm in the correct time zone and it is still 1 hour slow.

    The servers have been checked. They are on Eastern time. The software has been checked -- it is set to Eastern time. I'm not sure what more I can check or change.

    It works for me, and we are using the EU standard for time, even if we are not in the EU. Ideas Man, are you sure AUstralia just changed the time back an hour the other night?

    LOL, that was pretty good, yes it's the correct time, infact, my system clock is Atomic Time , can't get more accurate than that.
