Making Forum Posts Displayed With Your Local TimeI received an email from someone who asked about how to make forum posts reflect times appropriate for where they lived. The server we run the forum on is located in the Eastern US time zone, so all times will be set relative to that.
To adjust the time settings for your location, do the following:
- Click on your Forum Login Name displayed near the upper right and a drop-down appears.
- Click "Preferences" and a screen with various option settings appears.
- Scroll down and find the field labeled
Timezone - Click the dropdown and select the desired timezone (e.g. UTC-05:00 - America/New_York xx:xx AM)
- Scroll down and click the "Submit" button.
The times should automatically be adjusted for Daylight Savings shifts. That can cause problems with time being off an hour for some locations, so you may need to manually adjust the offset when the clocks change.
