Date and time change not synced outside of Eastern Time?

aforkosh · 09-16-2004, 02:56 AM

I noticed the following recently, so it may be connected to the recent forum changes. It appears that the date change is occurring at midnight Eastern time regardless of the actual local time, at least for the indices. When I view posts since my last visit, all items with a post after 9pm local time (Pacific) show up as today while those with a last post before 9pm show up as yesterday. The actual times are correct.

well the day has to change somewhere. the day is set to change on the east coast i guess.

are you saying that posts made at 9:15 PM come up as wed when it should be tues?

so the time is 24 hours off?

Hmm...sounds like a bug - I'll try to figure out what is causing it.

Ever thought of just moving to the East Coast?

No, the date change is occurring at midnight Eastern Daylight time, regardless of the user's timezone setting.

This has to do with the Yesterday-Today references on the main screen and forum lists. For example, I was last on the forum just before midnight Pacific time Wednesday. However, the User Info box informs me "You last visited on Today at 11:56 pm" (it is now 10:37am on Thursday). The cutover between yesterday and today is apparently occurring at 9pm Pacific Time.

When I view posts since last visit (listing topics in reverse order of 'last message'), all topics with a last message since 9pm Wednesday say 'Today'. It seems to me that these fields need to use a date reference relative to the User's timeas reflected in his timezone setting.

If you can't do that, the logical universal date change is when Zulu (Greenwich time) rolls over, 5 hours ahead of EST or 8 hours ahead of PST.

well i guess you could eliminate the "yesterday, today" reference and replace with date, or day.

HELP. I can not change my clock to the current time. I have read the manuel, checked the settings, its all correct and still it will not change my clock to the correct Central time. Any way around this?

I was a little late changing the time settings in the control panel. Let me know if anyone's still having problems.

Are you talking about the website, or your Prius?

As for Eastern Time, it is widely known that Eastern Time is the only real and legitimate time. People living elsewhere need to learn to adjust.
