 Topic: Adding .5 hours to ’Time offset’
Posted: 27 May 2004 at 6:42am |
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.

Er aren't all times offset by a whole number of hours. It sounds to me like your server clock has the wrong time

I don't think the server time is wrong. It's hosted on Brinkster.
What about Australian Central Standard Time?

It's UTC+0930
Thanks,
Craig

It was looked into last year, but due to compatibility problems it couldn't be added.

No.
Newfoundland, for example, is ahead of Eastern time by 1.5 hours. It might be the only one.

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 we
found there were bits and pieces of code everywhere which stopped it
from being a decimal
