Can I change the forum time stamp?

3 Jul 2010

It's just confusing as fuck-all trying to tell when something was posted, vs. whatever time it happens to be here. Is there any way to change it so I see times in USA Eastern Time?

Please?

Pretty Please?

I got no sugar, but I CAN put a cherry on top...

It has never worked right for me either.

The server is set to where it is supposed to be located, GMT -8:00 pacific time.

Gav? Is that where the server is? lol.

It's posting an hour ahead for me. My guess is it doesn't take into account daylight savings or anything complicated like that.

You're looking a bit red there MNP, don't get so irritated by the forum software, and your blood pressure should go down icon_smile

Can't be. PST is three hours behind me, and there are posts that have been made where the time shows up a few hours BEFORE me. It doesn't seem to be GMT, either. I can't figure out what time it really is. (sigh)

ETA - Maybe it really is GMT. This posted five hours ahead of my time, which would be correct. Whatever. It's just confusing to me when I've got friends in several different time zones, and I"m trying to figure out what time of day THEIR post was posted, in relation to wherever the fuck I happen to be at the moment... being able to set the time stamp to my local time would soothe my savage beastie...

I don't think I understand why this is so important to you.. i mean.. you post check your clock calculate the time difference, etc, etc, you should be able to figure it all out without have to change the time stamps for the site.

But then again time zones and all the crap confuse me..

I'm confused. Which timestamp are you referring to? For me, in the forums themselves, the time is right. In the person's profile, on the list of their last ten posts, it's three hours behind, or Pacific Coast Time. But if I can't figure that out on my own, all I have to do is go look at the actual post, and I can see when it was posted.

what jeb said.

Are you referring specifically to the forums MNP? Or the profile areas too? I don't know if they're aligned as they should be, but the forum side is definitely set this way:

It's posting i think 12 hours delayed on my part, but I don't mind and I don't get lost... dontknow

Is it that important to have it change into your time and day? just asking though book

My last post shows as having been posted at 7:43:07 PM. The actual time here, Miami time, was 2:43 PM. Pacific time would have been 11:43 AM.

So I must be posting through a time warp, because there no way I posted it at 7:43PM Pacific time - that would have been 10:43 PM. Right now, here where I am, it's nearly 8 pee em on Monday night. When I click "submit", I'll wager that the time stamp on my post shows 1:00 AM, Tuesday morning, or thereabouts.

It's really not all that important. Some other boards I post on give the user the option to set local time in their profiles, and then all posts (not just their own, but everyone's) show when they were posted in the user's local time. I was just wondering if that function was enabled here and I just couldn't find it.

The forum software really isn't that clever MNP.

I'll ask Gav to take a look when he gets a chance. He's very busy in the real world, started a new job yesterday.
