    Posted: 07 January 2004 at 5:11am

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?

It was tried but to many problems and errors arose from it that it was abandoned in favour of having users beable to set their own time of sets only and not for a global one and a user one together.

You an give it ago, but when I tried the same type of thing but setting it from the admin area I ran loads of problems. Sorry can't exactly remember what as it was over a year ago I was doing this.

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

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.
