Time stamps off?

[bvibert]

Is it just me or is the forum time a little off since the site came back to life yesterday? I'm posting this at 9:01am

The actual time on the new server is set to EST so we have to readjust out time settings. Go to User CP -> Edit Options and set the time zone to GMT - 1:00 / DST correction off.

Did that and this is what I get:

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 5:15 AM.

And I posted this at 9:21 AM.

Why would we set the time to GMT -1 (Azores Time Zone)?

Yep. Me too...

Looks like the forum software doesn't know that it's now in EST.

Seems like there's got to be a better way to fix it globally??? Like a setting that tells the forum software what timezone the server is set to, or maybe something in the PHP settings??

I thought CT is in EST. Why off by one hour?

Testing. Posting this at 5:57pm.

That is GMT not EST. Greenwich mean time which could CT.

But to get Connecticut time correct, you have to adjust to -1 from GMT. If in fact we're not counting from Eastern time, assuming the GMT labels are now Eastern labels, should the offset not be zero?

-1 for falling back?
