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

off by about 5 min... :smash:
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??

FYI- There is no large land mas with significant population at -1 GMT except the Azores. Server host must be cheaper in the middle of the Atlantic.

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

Posting now to see what time it was 5 minutes ago.

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?

Greg's very first response was "EST" - Eastern Standard Time. This would be zero hours.
It doesn't matter, I set it to minus one. I have no clue what will happen in the spring.

The server now resides in the Azores with this time correction. :razz::razz::razz::razz:
man, that's a dangerous place for a server. I always see end of the world specials which say the Azores will eventually collapse and send a massive Tsunami to the eastern seaboard.

Azores. Isn't that the antithesis of ski resorts?
It would be better to host it in the northeast, so if a blizzard wipes it out, we all will perish and never know...
