Time Change

Post by dirtyboy »

Well, it's that time again. Time to set the clocks back an hour. What about the forum?

The server that the forum is on changes its time automatically but the forum doesn't change your profile automatically from one time zone setting to another because the forum doesn't know where you are in the world. So if you want to see the correct times, then you will have to:
  • See the next post for the new instuctions
Then all the times will appear correct for your account when you are logged in.

:cheers:

Almost time change again. Saturday night the clocks get set back 1 hour around here. The new forum software works a bit different now.

Here is what to do:

Open "User Control Panel" >> "Board Preferences"
DSTControl.jpg
(5.66 KiB) Downloaded 714 times
Ensure that the time zone is set to "[UTC - 7] Mountain Standard Time" (If you live in Alberta, otherwise pick the correct time zone)

Set the Summer Time/DST is in effect to: "Yes" in the Summer and "No" in the Winter

OK folks. Time to switch it back

Go to your User Control Panel >> Board Preferences >> Summer Time / DST is in effect needs to be switched to NO
