Hi there ppl, can someone help with this?

Just found this in the admin menu

http://www.planet-vinyl.com/forum/admin/date_time_configure.asp - Date and Time Settings
Change the format of dates and times in the forum or change time/date settings to your local settings if the server is in a foreign country to your own.

I need to do exactly what the blue text says but when i enter the date & time settings there are no settings to change this???

Also does ne1 know how i change the colour scheme?

Not an answer to this question but the topic title fits the question.

How comes this setting is a offset to the time on the server. Most applications choose an offset from GMT, is this a possible mod to the the next version ?

There is no way to easily get GMT from the web server so if you are using the Access version of the forum, you will not be able to get GMT. SQL Server does have a functin (GetUTCDate()) that returns GMT, s it would be pssible to get the SQL Server to use GMT, but then the 2 versions would use two different methods for time.
