doug Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I've changed all the clocks in the house and my PC has changed automatically. How on earth do I change the settings on this Forum to reflect my present time? Otherwise I'll have to go to bed early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well bow me down with a feva it just changed itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 The forum time is taken from your computer's time, so if you have your time set up correctly (and all related patches applied), then you should have to do nothing at all.

Dencandy Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well that's strange because the forum's time is half an hour ahead of my computer's (which is synchronized with windows.time and is correct for where I live in Sri Lanka). We don't have daylight saving time here so I didn't instal the patch that deals with it thinking it would make my computer's time incorrect. I see you live in Tokio, Pat. Did I do the right thing?

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Now I am confused; I somehow thought that we specify our time zone somewhere in the forum profile, but I don't see it anywhere.Dencandy: you are right - you don't need to apply any patches if you don't use daylight saving time (we don't use it here either). But I really wonder how your forum time can be different from the computer time...?Hopefully someone like Chris Powerless can comment on this situation.

AlanHo Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Are you sure you have your time zone set correctly in your profileVia My ControlsOptions - Board settingsTime zoneIn your case I presume you do not need to tick the DST box.

Dencandy Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well, thanks AlanHo, I didn't even know that Profile item existed! I've just changed the time zone there and Voila! Forum time, Computer time & Sri Lanka time are all the same. Incidentally, Colombo time is listed there as being GMT+6.00 hrs, but that's wrong. It was changed last year and is now the same as India (Bombay) time: GMT+5.30 hrs. Come on Moderators wake up!!Dencandy :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Oh I do hope we have a white winter this year. I do love to see the snow and were long over due one me thinks ;)Why not emigrate to Scandinavia? Then you can have all the snow you want without wishing it on us here.

Mike567 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I like the snow, I pull up a chair to my window and watch all the cars trying to get up the hill and sliding down again :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can have all the snow you want without wishing it on us here.Because I am poor and I like the sun also (and we didn't get much of that this year either !). The best things in life are FREE and I miss the snow when we only seem to get the "gray sludge" now a days (dreary :( ). ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine from the window, but makes a hell of a mess outside once it starts to thaw. Makes getting about difficult too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
