froment Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind I suppose it should have changed itself; however, untill it's fixed, go to Settings (top right of the page) - General Settings (under My Account section in left vertical menu), and set "DST Correction Option" to "Always On". If you subsequently notice that hour is 1 h ahead, that means server time has been adjusted, so go back to that option and set it to "Automatically detect"; otherwise, if server time is not adjusted, leave it that way untill October, and then turn it off. That's how I solved it; maybe someone else has better idea? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Puntalot Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind Server time was correct, it was the VB setting that wasn't but that's right now. Members can use their own settings as Froment said, but non logged in users would have seen it an hour behind, but that's fixed now. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind Thought you'd fixed it though? So we still need to change from automatically detect DST to corrections on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we still need to change from automatically detect DST to corrections on? If you log out, you'll see the time is correct. What settings people have in their own user panel is their own business. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western skies Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind I think the option to automatically detect DST isn't working (at least not for me). My time is set to GMT, but with automatic detect switched on I assume it should realise that we're now on BST and make the adjustment automatically? For some reason, it's not doing this and the time is only right when I log out. Not a big deal obviously, as I can change it to BST myself. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind Testing to see what time it shows now.... Yep, still an hour out for me. I agree with Western Skies. Pretty sure it was showing correct time for me before you changed it. :unsure Anyway, will adjust in settings panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind What settings people have in their own user panel is their own business. ;) My Control Panel shows "(GMT) ... London" selected along with the option "Automatically detect DST settings". My forum times are 1 hour out. What should my control panel settings be? :unsure Do I have to pretend to the forum that I'm in Paris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avongirl Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind To correct it you need to change to DST always on instead of automatic. I can only assume Paul is in the Azores as everyone but him seems now to be 1 hour out. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind I have it on auto detect settings and it works fine, nobody else bar a few on here have mentioned it, so I assume it's your settings in your user control panel. I logged out and forum time is also correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philss_99 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind just testing after logging out then back on :ok . . . . . Working fine now after settings advised are altered and saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind I tried changing my settings, then changing them back, logging off and relogging on, but its still the same :unsure I imagine it would work if I manually changed the DST settings every 6 months as H suggested, but that cant really be the right solution can it? It will work, but not for, what I imagine is a not insignificant number of users, who are impacted but dont change it manually every 6 months. I hope there's no objection - I'll put a poll in GC to try and gauge how widespread the problem is and if it really is just a very small number of us, or more widespread. If Paul/the mods dont want the poll up there for any reason, feel free to remove the thread I create :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Puntalot Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind That was me in Helen's account and it says 18:06. :ok PM me your password Trev, I need to log in and tell me what you want it changed back to.

GaF Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind I'm not sure what you mean Paul - I can "fudge it" so that I get the correct time now, but not with the correct settings and not with something that will be right when the clocks change again in 6 months time. And putting in settings on my profile that "fudge it" wont give the right time to everyone on PL seeing the wrong time who isn't "red and bold" Anyway - password on the way :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Puntalot Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Re: My forum clock is an hour behind Ok I know the reason behind this now. We'll have to wait until Monday when I chat to PL's coder and it will be sorted. Detect DST will work again after that. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
