The following hack will add Daylight Saving Time support to your forums. When used on a server that automatically adjusts its time for Daylight Saving Time, vBulletin's time will be off by one hour when displaying the times for users outside of those areas observing DST. A rather nasty quirk that usually gets those overseas and in places that don't observe DST a little ticked off on my forums.
This hack allows the individual user to select whether or not they would like times on your forum to be displayed in DST or not and allows you to specify from the Admin CP whether or not your server is automatically changing the time for DST. At the moment, it only supports the DST supported by your server and returned by your server (via the date() function's "I" flag). I do not know what will happen if this code is used on servers with locales outside of the US. I assume this would work equally well for EU servers.
There are significant file edits made for this hack. Please ensure that you backup your database and files before attempting to install this hack.
Edit: I forgot to mention that enabling DST support will add an hour to events that take place ONLY during those periods where DST apply (i.e. posts made in December in a US locale will not be affected).

Sorry about the above message. I found the problem. I had installed Sygate's Personal Firewall Pro right around the same time I installed this hack and forgot about it. It turned out the firewall was blocking the avatars. I thought it might be the hack because of the code that was added above the avatar line in the member.php. Again, sorry for the confusion.
BTW: I have 2 lines like the one for avatars in the member.php. Can you please list the lines above or below it so I can make sure I have it in the right place?
Yesterday at 07:35 PM ogden2k said this in Post #22 I have vb 2.3.0 and for someone reason now, I cannot change the default board time from GMT -5.. Can someone help please??
Have you installed this hack? Please explain this a bit better. Are you trying to adjust the default timezone in the Admin CP? This hack shouldn't affect the ability to change that value.
Reupload your original files from backup and see if that corrects the problem.

Nevermind, I didn't realise when a user is logged out it shows GMT.
in your instructions you say to Run one of the following two SQL queries:
To set users to use DST by default: or
To set users to NOT use DST by default:
If you want all of your users to have DST enabled, run the first query. If you want all of your users to NOT have DST enabled, run the second. It's a matter of personal preference on your part and the geographical location of the majority of your users.
Having a slight problem, and I know all edits and queries were done correctly. In the user cp, the radio buttons for Use Daylight Saving Time, neither are selected. When I select yes, and click submit modifications, when i go back to my user cp, neither one is selected again.
