Using a modification to correct the time, is only symptom hiding.

The underlying problem is still there, and there should be no reason at all for a host to deny setting the correct time on a server.

I disagree. The time a computer has is always subject to offsets, be that due to time zone, DST.. whatever. The value of time is irrelevant as long as you apply the proper offset, but that's just IMO.

Marco van Herwaarden · #13 10-23-2007, 07:31 AM

If the TimeZone & DST (offsets) and Time are set correctly on the server, then you don't need any modifcation to show the correct time on your board.

Understand not everyone owns a dedicated or VPS server to adjust time settings. Some hosts like, GoDaddy, are reknowned in keeping their servers set to their time. Just Google "GoDaddy+time zone" and see for yourself.

NOTE: Just noticed with template edits -- the time shows the default time. So will have to search the files to hand edit timestamps. Shouldn't be that difficult, and much easier than playing email tag with non-support.

Sorry but i really disagree with you. Even if you don't have access to change the server time settings, they should be correct. If you don't have access, then the host should make sure that it is set correctly.

It does not matter in which timezone the server is configured, vBulletin will automatically adjust the times to your timezone and DST settings. This will ofcourse only work if the information (time & timezone) set on the server is correct.

Why are you wasting time on circular logic?

The server timezone is irrelevant. The only thing that is relevant, is that the server time is correctly set according to the timezone.

actually, he is not the one wasting time on logic... he give you the exact situation, but you want to be right, so you avoid it...

software modification of the data is one thing, but imagine if you change your host, and on that host the timezone is set properly... the entire content of your site will have false time because you did not do the right choice...

but it's all yours... i usually go where things are working properly instead of spending energy to make them work..

Keep reminding me why I left vB for 2 years. Another vacation, and $60 saved, would be nice.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
