I just tried your line and it makes it 2 hours behind for me (hence, the reason I added the +2 when testing it).

We are working on a whole new setup for this that will require NO editing of any kind and it will show a lot more timezones and areas. There is a lot of information to enter so that is why it is taking longer than we had hoped for.

Did you make the link to the worldtimes.php file?

I thought I would share this modified .php file for this worldtime mod. It has been modified to synch to your VB timezones rather then it being a stand alone to configure. After to much frustration in the worldtime not being the same as the vb times, some complaining, having to explain how to correct. Got fed up.

So you can use this modded worldtimes.php just overright your old.

I also have thousands of members on my board worldwide, so Ive fixed several that were incorrect. This modified file also understands a few areas that dont follow daylight savings and would not change their clock.

Thanks.

What do you mean some that were incorrect?

Some of the countries were in the wrong zones. I have a member in Austrailia and she corrected all of those cities in Aus.

Also, Some cities in Arizona here in the states doesn't recognize DST. I'm not sure which ones, though.

EDIT: I just noticed she has that in there. Ignore this post.

Also, with your file, my time is showing behind an hour.
