Odd time zone problem
SpectroPro:
I am in the Eastern US time zone. All my other web sites show the correct time. My computer is correct. When I look on my hosting server, it is correct. However, for some goofy reason, my board shows my time as one hour off. I know I can change it, and have.. BUT, it is showing GMT +5. That is WRONG! That would put me in India I think.. LOL
We are GMT -5 or -4 depending on the time of year. (most computers understand if it is always GMT-5.
I know it's not a big deal, but damned irritating to look at up there on top of my forum. I have the latest version 2, and have installed and uninstalled it 3 times in 2 days. Always the same thing..
Is there a place to fix this? Is it a simple error in the -/+ signs? Where can I fix that if that is the case..
Thanks for any/all help..

Use that number to set the difference between your host's server time and your desired forum time (time that appears to guests). Then individuals set their own offset from forum time in their profile.

I have done that.. however, I shouldn't have to. This is why I posted. My host/server is in the same time zone I am in.
GMT-5
But the clock on the board says GMT+5
This is the problem I am tyring to find out about.. Other web sites I have on the same server that have clocks on the sites (just normal html pages) all show the correct time. GMT-5
So why is SMF showing GMT+5??

As the board is in maintenance now, not a problem.. You can still see the time problem..
That setting is at 0. I will say, I tried several things. I changed that to -5. That never changed, however, what that time zone displays. It always says GMT+5. If I put -10. It still says GMT+5.
Note: I can get it to show the correct server time by changing the 0 to a 1 (which is also NOT right, because that should be GMT+6... Am I making my thinking clear? I hope so.. I mean, default is +5, so technically, to make it EASTERN US time zone, I SHOULD have to enter -10.... The server is located in New Jersey, btw....
