Fall Back...

Postby t27duck » 02 Nov 2008 10:02

It's that time of year again. Time to "Fall back" and reset your clocks back one hour.

To do this for your forum account...

  1. Click on your User Control Panel link at the top left of the page.
  2. On the left navigation bar, click Board preferences
  3. Change Summer Time/DST is in effect to "No"
  4. Click Submit

Blame the server's internal clock.

The time that is reported on the page is a result of a mathematical algorithm that calculates your time based on the server's time, the timezone you select, and if DST is being used or not.

It just so happens the server's clock is about 10 minutes off. That's something I have no control over unfortunately.
