Question on time setting

[Aggie87]

I really like the feature on this board that allows you to customize the time setting to your local area, and not pre-set to the U.S. west coast (or wherever the BNBB was set to).

However, I've recently noticed that even with the correct setting for my area (GMT +1), the times listed on the posts are one hour off - meaning I'm posting this at 1323, but it "shows" as being posted at 1223 by the software.

I can get around this by saying I'm in GMT+2, but that's not really correcting the problem, just masking it.

Anyone else having this problem lately? And if so, have you figured out how to solve it? Or can a board person figure this out?

Thanks

Erik

It's probably because I have the board clock set to recognize Daylight Savings Time. It's a crazy midwestern thing.

If you're in the Central European Time zone:

- click on "my controls";

- click on "board settings";

- go to "time zone":

- choose "GMT + 1";

- tick "daylight savings time" box,

and you get the right time, which at the moment is GMT + 2.

P.S. What is known as "summer time" in Europe, is called "daylight savings time" in the U.S.

Thanks JAW! I missed the daylight savings time thing.

That's better, I can relate better to British Summer time.
