the entire state of AZ does not follow daylight savings. As far as being an hour behind, I had to toggle my DST Correction Option. After this modification, everyone was able to set clocks correct and it seems my members have no more problems with it anymore.

I wont claim its perfect, but its way closer to being correct than before.

What do you mean toggle it?

You commented out this line which would fix the DST is it was enabled in your User CP settings.

//servertime++;

im sorry, i was confused. I was toggling that before this was modded. Im not sure why you are an hour different. Ive polled over 50 members worldwide and they all stated it was correct for them. Perhaps your board settings are not lining up with the timezone your server is in.

My server is set on eastern, my board is set on eastern. My DST is set to Automatic in the pacific timezone even though im in arizona however its lining up all correct for me and other members.

I know when I installed your original me and many other members were an hour off. So now we are correct and your an hour off. Im not sure.

Well, when I enable that line, it makes it 2 hours off then. That is why I had to add the +2 to the timediff in the original file. I re-added that and all is well now.

My server is set at GMT and so is the setting in the Admin CP.

Aren't there ay cities in the +5 timezone anywhere? I noticed there aren't any listed there with the changes she made.

I will run this a few days and check it out and let you know what I find out.

Also, just for yucks, try setting DST to always off in your Admin CP (since it is for you) and see what happens.

I toggled the daylight savings in my admin cp and it didnt change anything. I dont know if any cities are in +5. Mainly she stated that alot of Australia doesnt follow DST. Im sure their is +5 cities but I dont know any.

Ultimatly unless you basically rewrite this to follow UTC completly I dont think there will be a perfect fix for this. Mostly everyone will have to tweak it to make it work on their servers.

The rewrite is being done to follow UTC. It's pretty extensive.

I did everything in the instructions (by the way,the instructions were clear and easy to follow), but where am I suppose to be seeing this, as it's not jumping out at me.

You have to create a link to worldtimes page.

Did I miss that in the instructions? What is the URL of the link, or did I miss that as well.

BTW, remember when I said the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Scratch that. :ermm:

No you didn't because it wasn't included in the instructions when I installed it.
