Time of Posts? Posted at 4:30PM PST (-8)

[jeffsey]

Is it just me or is the time on all the posts way off?  This is being posted at 4:30pm PST.  Let's see what time it shows?

It shows as  04:29:54 PM here. You can set user specific options for timezone, under user profile, modify user profile, look and layout, timezone offset. (Your option is set to 0, mine is set to -7 .. which is incorrect also...)

After looking, I have a suspicion you're not the only user with this problem.

What time does it show to you currently?

Just changed my timezone to -8 ...looks like maybe all new users get set to 0 by default?  Surely being the BC jeep club we could choose -8 or something as a little closer to default! 5:00pm right now as I hit post

This looks to me like more of a server side issue.  I'm curious what timezone the apache server is in?

[bradh]

The server timezone is set to UTC, which is standard. Should be -7 during day light savings, and -8 outside.

I believe the issue stems from previous poorly set defaults, but all new users are set correctly I believe. You signed up before I came onboard and upgrade the website in June.

I will take a closer look into it this evening, and see what other users have set in the database, and do a mass update assuming we're all in PST timezone

We aren't, but they'll figure it out.  After all, there's only one time of day in Ontario.  Time to hate on Toronto LMAO
