I dunno anymore. I get totally confused by time zones.

I have just made some changes to sportspool.php along the following lines:

$eventdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $eventtime);
$eventtime = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $eventtime);

Then I have gone into the template casino_sportspool_event, and added $eventtime next to $eventdate.

With a test event, if I now create the event with a time six hours before the time I actually want it to close, the close time shows correctly in BST on the public page.

The question then is, will the event actually close at that time or not? Because today's didn't, but that was before I made the changes.

I am assuming this works the same as the add scheduled tasks window, which also requires times to be six hours aheaed (for me anyway) but then shows them in my local time in the management window.

I *hate* timezones!!!!

PS....please don't think I'm criticising you in any way here Andrew. It's my own confusion with timezones that causes this, not your mod! I have the same problem trying to get crons to run at the right time.
