All new users on my forum ( legalbeagles.info ) appear to be automatically signed up as GMT +02.00 South Africa, Cairo ( rather than London GMT )

The server settings and time is correct

The settings in VB options are correct

I haven't uploaded any plugins for at least a year and this has only been happening for a month.

Is anyone else having similar issues? or have any other ideas ?

Am on VB 4.2.3

As usual when I decide to post for help I figured it out.

Back in May 2014 ! I'd removed the time zone selector from the registration page.

With this code

<vb:comment>
{vb:raw timezoneoptions}
</vb:comment>
<!-- this is replacing the timezone fields and replace it by default -->
<input type="hidden" name="timezoneoffset" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="dst" value="2" />

I'm pretty sure it wasn't 2 when I did it as no one has reported any time errors until two separate people this week.

Anyhoo, I have changed it to

<vb:comment>
{vb:raw timezoneoptions}
</vb:comment>
<!-- this is replacing the timezone fields and replace it by default -->
<input type="hidden" name="timezoneoffset" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="dst" value="0" />


and it works fine. I'll have to sort out for British Summertime when it comes around though.
