Forum clock out by an hour?

Post by JAD » Fri Jan 20, 2017 5:51 pm

UK based user - noted the forum always suggests the posts I send are an hour later than the time in the UK. Is this something in my own settings I've missed?

Many thanks,

James

It'll be the server time wherever it's based.

You've not changed it from BST, it doesn't change automatically... go to user control panel, board preferences, and select the timezone UTC+00:00. Sorted :thumbsup:

If only it was that simple Bing - but I'm replying to your message nearly an hour before the time your message is shown as having been posted!

It's the "forum" clock that is out - I did E-mail Z4 Admin about it a couple of months ago but it hasn't changed!

JAD, your setting for time are: UTC+01:00
If you live in the UK I believe your setting should be changed to UTC + 00:00

But I am in the U.K., have my time set to UTC +00:00, and my time of posting is correct :?

I just looked at your forum settings and your time is set to UTC+01:00.
You need to make that change in your forum settings.
If you don't know how let me know and I will make the change for you.
