Is the forum 'clock' off

Harley

I just noted that there were 12 o'clock threads, then the later ones changed to 2 o'clock threads, and it isn't even 2 pm PST here yet.

Is that correct?

It's an issue with the daylight savings time code.

I am moving your post to the support forum where it belongs

Take care,

Harley,

You can fix the time displayed by going to Control Panel -> Edit Options and changing your time zone.

I'm a little perplexed by all of this, though, since we're not yet in that date range between the old and new time zone changes.

Hi Phil,

Under the old DST rules, the clock would turn back an hour in October. The fact that this is happening now - before the old DST rollback date is troubling. I updated the forum configuration to force the DST issue. I am not sure why that solved the problem - i.e. whay wasn't the system honoring DST prior to the configuration change. I'll watch it over the next few weeks to see what happens as we move through the two DST change zones (old & new).

Perhaps there are two clocks: one for display and one for internal use. The internal one just drifted over time, and since no one ever sees the thing it produced the early change.
