Guest yaduk Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Heya, I notice that the times of the posts are GMT + 10 Hours. 8O eek yadUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Cheers for pointing that out. The main site time setting is GMT, but the user setting in the 'Your Account' --> 'Your info' section over-rules this. For some reason, the default user setting is GMT+10. I'll look into it and get it sorted so the default is GMT, but registered users will probably have to change the time themselves.

admin Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Update: the problem has arisen because the web server is located in adifferent timezone than our geographic location. The default time isthat of the server location (which is Canada I believe). I hadn'tnoticed this while I was developing the site on my own computer and ithas only become apparent since the site was uploaded to the server.I'll try tweaking the website code to work around the problem.Anybody out there know how to fix this?

Guest yaduk Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Heya, Nope the server is definetly on UK terafirma! A yadUKHosting server upgrade last July saw yadUKHosting infact move to a new UK based Data Centre at Farham, South Hampshire - a state-of-the-art facility with top-quality connectivity from three primary dedicated gigabit fibre uplinks taking diverse routes via road and railways to a central London-based six-point gigabit ring. From there the connections are peered with all the major UK backbones and out to the world across the Tier 1 Internet backbones. The forums are different I see. People can adjust their own settings?! I've altered mine accordingly. yadUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Sorry YadUK, I thought your server was in Canada for some reason I've made a couple of changes in the admin preferences section which should help, if not sort it out. I had the 'locale time format' set to en_UK, but I changed it to en_GB, which I think is correct. However, I can't figure out how to make the user setting GMT by default, instead of GMT+10 which it is now. Its not too bad, it just means users have to set it themselves, but its not the best solution. Any ideas YadUK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yaduk Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Heya, Not to worry as the server prior to the upgrade was based across the pond. The move ensured an increase of 100ms+ on requests to clients websites - a significant increase for those sites requesting large amounts of server-side data i.e. forums, shopping carts, etc. For the forum, I believe there is a setting in the admin configuration screen that will allow you to set the default time. It'll be under General Admin - Config or something very similar. HTH yadUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Cheers for the help YadUK. I think I've got it sussed now, but I'm notsure if the default time for new users is still GMT+10. Any new users,please let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
