Hi Kyle,

Many thanks. This was identified as an issue. This should now be resolved on the demo site and here.

RC4 will include this fix (and many others) and will be available today at some point.

Dear Kleesman,

Thank you for mentioning this but it is in fact a setting available in the admin control panel that allows, or not, members to override the default time zone format. Thus, you are seeing a different time as an anonymous user because you are not allowed, as an anonymous user, to override the time zone. Under "General Settings", in "Manage Settings", you will find this option in the Date & Time options.

Daylight savings time problem

Issue 1:

It would appear that daylight savings time is not being taken into account for an anonymous user. For example, on this forum when I first accessed the homepage it said:

All times are GMT -7:00, Time now is 11:04am

Then after logging my self in, it says:

All times are GMT -6:00, Time now is 1:04pm

Issue 2:

The RSS feeds that I'm getting always include GMT as the time zone, even if my forum is setup as -6. For example, a post in my database is stored as 7/1/2005 12:41:54 PM (in Enterprise Manager). The TimeZoneOffset field in the InstantASP_Settings table is set to -6. The RSS feed returns

which my computer then adjusts to be local time, which is hours off.

Thanks,
Kyle
