It should be in your user profile.

The time off-set in the admin area is for non logged in users and new registreded users.
You need to set the time off-set yourself by editing your profile.

Hi,
I cannot find the time zone offset in the admin screen - my server is hosted in the US and I'm UK. Searched it three times now!
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Darryl

You can change the date format and time format, but the time off-set needs to be set by each user in thier profile.

-boRg- I hope you will reconsider adding in the option to select a default time offset that will apply to all users. When a user is logged out it the forum will display something like "All forum times are GMT -7:00" and when they're logged in the display will reflect the timezone they have selected.
Also I think it's more user-friendly if the time offset selection displays the actual timezones instead of just the numbers. Something like:
Pick your timezone:
<option>GMT +1:00 Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Vienna</option>

If you go in the database and change the time offset of the guests account wouldn't this set the standard time for a user that is not logged in? Haven't tried it, but in theory sounds like a solution.
I'll give it a go and see if it works.

This isn't possible with ASP, as unlike PHP and some other server side
languages you can't get the GMT time in ASP. The only time you can get
is the server time so all times have to go from the server time.
The time off-set for all users was removed and replaced by a system
that allows the user to change the forum time off-set to their own, the
two wouldn't work side by side.
I too am in the UK and this forum is on a US server, so I jst have to
put up with the limitations of ASP and just change the time off-set to
my own in my profile.
