Dave,

The times seem to be messed up on the board. The times on mine are an hour off. I've got it set on -6 GMT which is Central time for my area and it to pick up day light savings. Do I have the wrong stuff selected?

Are you SURE your in the Central time zone?

Hmm, okay it's an hour ahead for me too...
wonder if that's always been the case?

No, it used to display correctly when logged on. Mine is showing one hour behind... it is showing all times as GMT -5 at the bottom of every page and doesn't seem to be picking up the personal choices in the options secton of the CP. Actually, wouldn't GMT -5 be 9 PM if it is currently 8 PM CST? Yet the board time shows 7 PM!! Something weird is going on... :monkey5

As far as I know Missouri is in the Central Time zone.

I've got 8:04 and it's showing 7:04 on the bottom.

In Europe (with daylight savings etc.) the time on the bottom is right. But perhaps Dave did a little tweaking already?

I'm in pacific time zone, and the time displaying on my page are all screwed up. I don't even know what time zone it is putting up right now. It's 10:13am, and it's showing 12:13am.

I don't know if this is still an issue, but keep in mind:

GMT (Greenwich Main Time) or UT (Universal Time) or UCT (Coordinated Universal Time) are all the same and are all NOT affected by Daylight Savings.

That means in Greenwich it is GMT+1 at the moment. :lecture

For the US time zones this means:

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) = GMT-4
Central Daylight Time (CDT) = GMT-5
Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) = GMT-6
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) = GMT-7

In your user settings you can set the Daylight savings option to "Automatically detect DST settings and leave the time zone as follows:

Eastern = GMT-5
Central = GMT-6
Mountain = GMT-7
Pacific = GMT-8
