DamnSaxon Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I thought mine was already set to GMT (as I run on GMT all year round anyway) but a few weeks ago noticed that my Shetlink time had changed to GMT+1 at some point. Is there no option somewhere in the programming to do all that stuff automatically? (Unless turned off by the likes of me, of course.) Seems odd if not, as the Summer Time Delusion is so widespread.

trout Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's the way that phpBB works. Each individual member is required to set their particular timezone. Changes in the past have been done through SQL into the actual database itself. Unfortunately there was no-one around to do that this time around - i.e. swap over all GMT timezone members to the correct DST time. It'll probably be done auto sometime. In the interim, members are encouraged to change it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnSaxon Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 ^^^Not getting at anyone or casting any nasturtiums, trout, I was just wondering whether it is (or could be) set from a list of timezones like they use in Windows, where you can set, say, "GMT London, Dublin, etc" which adds summer time, or "GMT Casablanca, Monrovia" which doesn't. The Windows list seems to cover everything, but even then you can add zones to the list with "tzedit" if you want - I've added "GMT, Original and Best, Accept No Substitute" for my own use - same setup as Casablanca, of course, but looks cool onscreen (like Bogart & Bergman ).
