Hi all,

What does this do profile.php?do=dst ?

Alot of members are receiving this:

When i try and view the offending page: http://www.joshandfriends.com.au/forums/profile.php?do=dst . I get a blank screen.

Any ideas?

It has to do with the daylight savings time. Make sure your footer has the required securitytoken in it (this is for 3.8.0, you can find what should be in your version by clicking on Show Default in the template):

<!-- auto DST correction code -->
<form action="profile.php?do=dst" method="post" name="dstform">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dst" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var tzOffset = $bbuserinfo[timezoneoffset] + $bbuserinfo[dstonoff];
var utcOffset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
if (Math.abs(tzOffset + utcOffset) == 1)
{ // Dst offset is 1 so its changed
document.forms.dstform.submit();
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- / auto DST correction code -->

Thanks heaps. I think my vb advanced template was out of date. There was a copy of this in the adv_portal template.
