I have eliminated the only strange error I could find with this, so I am moving it to full releases.

What This Does
If your users pay as little attention to their options as mine do, this might be just what you need. It uses a JavaScript to detect when a user has their timezone setting set different than their computer's clock. If the computer time does not match, the user is given a JavaScript prompt on your main page asking whether he/she would like to adjust their timezone setting. If they select yes, a new window will pop up, make the change, and close. EXCEPTION: This will yield very unsatisfactory results for users in strange timezones whose offsets are not whole numbers (i.e. Newfoundland is GMT-3.5). I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I will update this hack if I do figure it out. You may want to just remove those options from your registration/profile options.

Scroll down for screenshots.

Let me know how it works out, and, as always, click INSTALL if you use it, please!

Enjoy!

I still have the -12 problem if I set my offset to +12.

OK. I just gave it another try on my forums, and I was unable to reproduce the problem. Maybe you should start from scratch and install the hack over again.

I just did. It seems to have worked. Now I have a daylight saving issue. That might be to do with vBulletin itself though. It updates my offset to +1 instead of 0.

I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking maybe there was a change for DST last nite or something.

Yes. I didn't explain that well. It sets it to the right time but in my options it's set to +1 instead of 0, like my forums are an hour behind.

EDIT: Oh, never mind... I think. Apparantly it's because clocks go forward in the UK a week before the US.

I know. I thought DST was a world wide thing happening at the same time.
