I'm running my forum v7.6 on an american server so the times are in American time. Is there anyway i can change the server time so it would show GMT time? Any code that i could change or anything?

Any help?

Users can adjust their time in the profile...

I understand that but how can it be done for everyone, guests and all?

You cant, unless you hard code the time into the register.asp page.

If you are using SQL server, you can change the default for times to from getdate() to get getUTCdate() which will get the GMT date rather than server date. This may not be accurate as the code may use web server rather than SQL server time in some instances (I have corrected this at least once in a past version).

The easiest way would probably just be to open common.asp and set the hour offset to whatever you need it to be.

It is not possible to get the GMT date with ASP.

Even the suggestion from ljmal for SQL server would not work as the ASP inserts most of the times in the database, by trying to change it directoy in the database will course the forum to be unstable.
