Hi,

I'm not sure if this is correct behaviour or not, but I'm confused about the setting up of times zones.

I'm in Sydney, but my site is hosted in Los Angeles. I've set the time zones to be GTM + 10 which is for the East coast of Australia (and apparantly Vladivostok which doesn't sound right to me).

The site shows the following at the bottom of the main page - All times are GMT +10:00, Time now is 9:05pm. The problem is that 9.05 is LA time, not Sydney. It is currently 4.05pm here.

Have I missed something. It's not very useful to show LA time for us here in Oz...

Also, is it possible to set up the date format? eg dd/mm/yyyy. Because my site is hosted in the US, todays date is showing as 12/16/2005 when we want it to show 16/12/2005.

thanks

justin

You can change the date format for your forum.. More info in the following topic : http://support.instantasp.co.uk/Topic7629-51-1.aspx

Time Zones: In the "AdminCP > Manage Settings > General Settings" area.. this is were you would set the time zone to where the server is hosted (LA)... and within your user profile (forum settings)... you would then set your time zone to where you live.. I pulled this off the top of my head, so I hope it is right??

Hi. I'm having a timezone issue too. I have the board time set for GMT -5 and daylight savings checked, but the board won't budge from GMT -7. With DST in effect, I should be on GMT -4.

Thanks!

Never mind, this finally sunk in. There are board settings AND user settings. PEBKAC, sorry.
