Time and date

clhjsh · 02-27-2021, 01:48 PM

I scrolled to the bottom of the new post page and noticed it says the time is gmt-7 hours (mountain time) and shows the correct mountain time. Well I am in the pacific time zone so I checked the time and date settings in the user portal and it is set to pacific gmt-8. I am guessing that all post times are always mountain time.

Do the posts show the correct time for you?

Its currently 12:58 where I am and this post will show that I posted at 12:58.

The 11:48am time of this original post is mountain time not 10:48 am pacific when I posted.

If I am not logged in and I’m just browsing posts, the time can be an hour off. When I log in it shows correct time.

Just to see what happens I changed my time setting to mountain gmt-7 and at the bottom of the page it changed to central gmt-6. On my rvi2 page since it is the same setup shows correctly at gmt-8.

I see a problem also. This is at the bottom of the page

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:46 PM.

My central time when I checked just now is 07:46.

I had the same hour off after I set it to pacific Standard. I had to turn off the Daylight Savings to get it correct. Hope this helps

Thanks. I switched it to automatically detect DST. I don't mess around too much with the UserCP settings.

Mine is set with the auto dst on. I think I will wait until the 14th, spring forward, and see what happens then. Just curious!!

Well, I learned something new today.
While my date and time is set for the Central Time Zone (which is where I'm located) under UserCP, my time at the bottom of the forum showed an hour ahead. I had to set it to 'automatically detect dst' to get the correct time.

Aren't computers fun?

That is funny since if I turn off the auto detect it corrects mine and changes the gmt to -8 which is correct for me. Turn it back to auto and back to the incorrect time and -7.
