this is just an idea, so am not sure how hard or easy it'll be to add

but i was wondering if for V8 or even V8.1 if ya could add a way that you can set the forum time in the admin area, which would be the default time instead of using the Server time as my site is acctually for members from all over, but has alot of UK members but my host is in US (i use jodo) so the time is GMT-5hrs so i was wonderin if by any chance there was a way that you could have a Forum time so i could set the forum to work off GMT time but users could then put -5 in there profile if there from US

its not that important just an idea - since other sites might be for a UK audiance but hosted in the US or other way round coursin the time to be all wrong

im not sure and haven't tried it ... it might not woirk all over ... but in the common.asp file

where it has
   
    'The now() function is used in Access for dates
    strDatabaseDateFunction = "Now()"


'Else set the MS SQL server stuff
Else    
   
    %><!--#include file="admin/SQL_server_connection.asp" --><%
   
    'The GetDate() function is used in SQL Server
    strDatabaseDateFunction = "GetDate()"
End If

if you change that to this .. it will add five ours ..


   
    'The now() function is used in Access for dates
    strDatabaseDateFunction = "DateAdd('H', +5, Now())"


'Else set the MS SQL server stuff
Else    
   
    %><!--#include file="admin/SQL_server_connection.asp" --><%
   
    'The GetDate() function is used in SQL Server
    strDatabaseDateFunction = "DateAdd('H', +5, GetDate())"
End If

not sure if it will work but should .

There's a mod in the mod area that allows you to set a global time offset.
