Another problem is with using decimal numbers, in some locales a dot(.) is used as the seporator, in other locales a comma is used (,).

This and other problems ment that it could not be implemented.

I remember spending the best part of a week trying to come up with aimplement a solution to this but found that it wasn't working.

I think it's around 3 or 4 time zones (can't remember off-hand as itwas a year ago I researched into this) in the world that use a halfhour time off-sets from GMT, I also looked at the populations of theseplaces and found it to be very small indeed and becuase of this and theproblems implementing the solution I decided to give up.

Hi all,

This is a question regarding the "Time offset from forum time" user setting.

I'm just wondering why I can't enter +13.5 hours as I can only enter +13, which puts the forum 30 minutes behind for the times it displays.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks.

We looked at this as well (must be a 'down under thing' :-) ) ... but:
* THe datatype in the database is smallint
* THe VbScript used to format the field input has CInt

Thus everywhere the offset is "used" is an integer ... ad therefore wefound there were bits and pieces of code everywhere which stopped itfrom being a decimal

No.

Newfoundland, for example, is ahead of Eastern time by 1.5 hours. It might be the only one.

I don't think the server time is wrong.  It's hosted on Brinkster.

What about Australian Central Standard Time?
http://www.worldtimezone.com/wtz-names/wtz-acst.html

It's UTC+0930

Thanks,

Hi all,

This is a question regarding the "Time offset from forum time" user setting.

I'm just wondering why I can't enter +13.5 hours as I can only enter +13, which puts the forum 30 minutes behind for the times it displays.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks.
