Daylight Savings/Standard Time - blah blah

We all know by now that clocks in most North American territories were set forward one hour a week or two ago (I forget). But I forgot to make a news topic to remind you guys to adjust your forum preferences.

If your clocks, timezone, DST settings, etc. change then you need to update it in your preferences.

Go up top, click on 'User Control Panel' (or just click HERE) then go into 'Board Preferences' and then where it says "Summer Time/DST is in effect:" click "Yes".

If you want to test it, make a post on the tagboard and make sure it matches the correct time that it is right then and there.

You might also want to make sure you specify the date/time format that I have in my screenshot above.

If you don't make this change, then your times will be off by one hour.

Europeans --> you'll be changing in a month or so, too.

The setting isn't automatic. Which is why I created this reminder. I'm sure many people already did it, but I'm also just as sure that many did not.

Strange... the setting for me was set to "no" yet the time updated properly.

Oh well. Thanks for the reminder :)

It *should* be automatic, I am surprised the phpbb team didn't implement that yet....
