Title: Timing of postings
Post by: cairnhill on May 26, 2011, 01:00:52 pm: Hi Dan

apologies if you have covered this before, but why do timings of posts show one hour behind the actual time?

Because posters haven't gone into their profile and clicked on look and layout prefernces and ticked the auto detect button. Only need to do it once.

OK, I'm testing the system - I am posting this at 18.20
edited - bang on - now 16.21 (see my next post - this is a typo - it should read 18.21 not 16.21, sorry fro any confusion :-[ )

I can't do 24 hour clock arithmetic either ;) :D ;D

Post by: OhLaLa on May 31, 2011, 09:47:33 am: 24 hour clock would be better than a.m. / p.m.

..erm, the test postings still show as one hour behind. Me confused so me test too.... uk time now 09:47
Title: Re: Timing of postings
Post by: OhLaLa on May 31, 2011, 09:51:44 am: The default clock time on this site is 1 hour behind uk time. I've done the auto detect thing, time of this post should show as 10:51 (no 24 hour clock option).

Update - It worked. Changing the setting has also changed the time for my previous post (directly above) which originally showed as 08:47.

Course, it will totally confuse the timings of posts from folks posting from outside uk, as uk posters can reply before a post is made / or question asked.... :D :D

Headache pill anyone? :notwell: ;D :D ;D

Post by: OhLaLa on May 31, 2011, 10:22:59 am: Oh er where's me Valium? If you log out and look at the postings as a 'Guest' the timings are back to the one hour behind uk time again. So I'm guessing that when logged in the time of the postings will show as whatever your own setting is.

Not that it really matters of course, I'm just being a techie (or nerd :D )
