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.
