The PT Clock?

[RICHARD]

My computer auto adjusted for the time last weekend, I know that they changed DST-extended it one week -But I was wondering if the clock on PT was automatic too? It seems to be one hour early!

Thanks~

The PT clock -should- be based off the server's clock that the website is hosted on. You can change the time offset in the admin's section for the forum but if the server is hosted in a country that is having DST that could be why :)

Also, some forum's scripts do automatically adjust for DST, not sure about vBulletin but I'm sure it does. There may even be an option in your settings, I don't recall but I know on a user level on some forum scripts you have the option for the time to automatically adjust for DST.

Check your user CP, it shows you what time zone you are selected for, maybe that changed? The time is correct for me ... (Eastern Standard time)

My comp adjusted itself automatically. I changed it back.

It doesn;t matter, I was just curious.:D

I just checked my clock on the comp and on the wall....It's 8.40 and the time stamp says 7.42

My settings are for PST -8 from GMT and my DST setting is on!:confused:

My comp adjusted itself automatically.
I changed it back.

If your 'puter already went back to "Standard Time" - it sounds like you're
missing the latest Daylight Saving corrective patch.

Are you running a Windows Operating System? (Vista or XP ?)
If so, read these Windows Help files:

I have the ancient windows OS. It's not a biggie, My OS let me know that the time changed, I changed it back- I really don't use the comp clock anyway.

I was just curious about the time stamp on the posts and was wondering about it.

THANKS!

Most all Web pages that display clocks rely on YOUR computer's internal clock
to be set to the proper local time
AND
to be set to the proper Time Zone and Daylight Saving On/Off status.

Then the Web page can tell your 'puter what time to display.
