Forum clock
Just wondering why is the forum clock 1 hour ahead of actual time. Does it not reset automatically at daylight saving start and finish?

Re: Forum clock
As it says on the right bottom of the screen, all times are UTC +11 hours. As I post, UTC (GMT) is currently 1.09 am, so the post time should be 12.09pm, even though it is 11.09am in the eastern states.

Re: Forum clock
Go to your UCP, under preferences set your local time zone (UTC+10 for eastern states). In the next line check the DST option box, it is not automatic.

Re: Forum clock
It can not automatically change at daylight start/finish as not all areas have daylight savings and even those who do, change at different times. The software does not support that.Timbo52 wrote:Just wondering why is the forum clock 1 hour ahead of actual time. Does it not reset automatically at daylight saving start and finish?

Re: Forum clock
IIRC, the time on the forum is linked to the hosting server., not the computer system time.
I recall in the past thast the board time has been a few minutes different to (real) system time.

Board clock
Hi folks,
Is it just me, or is the board clock forty three minutes out?

Re: Forum clock
Normally 1-3 minutes fast for me. Not that I really look at it.
Might want to check your UCP and time zone.Rclasstramcar wrote:Hi folks,

Re: Forum clock
If it is a time zone error, it would be out by multiples of 30 minutes, not 43.
Eastern stater's should be on UTC+10, and change it to UTC+11 for DST

Re: Forum clock
Remember to reset your clock for Daylight Savings if you are in a state which has that.
