But it's all relative, why would -16 hours be any worse than -6? If you have a base and use DateAdd to move yourself away from the base the times should sync correctly.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2004 11:34:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/server-time_topic8639_post45062.html#45062 <![CDATA[Server Time : The problems as I recall had something...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/server-time_topic8639_post45021.html#45021 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

The problems as I recall had something to do with if you tried to set the time behind that of the server eg. -8 hours.

When people came to then also be another - 8 hours behind this time it would thow days out ie. it would then be -16

It was tried but to many problems and errors arose from it that it wasabandoned in favour of having users beable to set their own time ofsets only and not for a global one and a user one together.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2004 05:16:12 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/server-time_topic8639_post44991.html#44991 <![CDATA[Server Time : I understand how the time is being...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/server-time_topic8639_post44990.html#44990 Author: pnppnp

I understand how the time is being set now, in version 7.6.

I'm converting from a previous board version and everybody should have to set their time offset. It's a bit tricky. Also a guest user would see server time.... It's not a good idea.

I think the previous verision also had its benefits....

I guess the ideal solution would be having the two sets. A general set for correcting server time and a user time offset that overrides forum time. That way would be perfect.

While this feature isn't implemented :) I'm planning on initializing intTimeOffSet = 6 in common.asp

and to not loose the timeoffset after dbread:

intTimeOffSet = intTimeOffSet + CInt(rsCommon("Time_offset_hours"))

I guess I'll cover all the options here, so my forum default time would be 6 hours ahead and I also allow user customization. What do you think?
