New website

It says on my profile for timezone "Current offset from server" 00.00 for London. So I assume the server is set for GMT. I guess if you are that bothered just set your profile for a zone that gives the right answer.

Mines set the same as yours but what i am saying is upcoming games has been showing an hour ahead compared to other parts

There's a descrepancy between the times show here on site, forum times and PM times are showing correctly, but the upcoming games are for some reason showing (to me at least) 1hr ahead. I can post inforums and it shows that correct time (according to my timezone setting's)

I partook in winsfords BNS, Derby and salt session, the start time was for 20:00BST but it was showing 21:00.

I posted this message at 2255BST (give or take a few mins)

Rather a cavalier attitude to a legitimate problem.

I've just posted a game "This is a test" up for 19:00:00 BST (Or 18:00:00 Zulu), and it is correctly showing for me as 19:00:00 BST.

I posted a forum post at 18:09 BST (Or 17:09 Zulu) and this displayed correctly as 18:09, so I can't reproduce an issue with the game times being an hour offset, perhaps WinsfordSaltMine had simply inputted the wrong time?

As you can see from above I don't think there is a problem, but reading through the previous postings people seem to be confused as to how the timezone setting works. The website will show times in the time zone your forum profile is set to, in my case this is "Europe/London" which will automatically correct for Daylight Saving Time.

How do you get your's to add the hour?
Mine says: Europe/London (current offset from server time: 00:00:00)

Peter

Some quite bizarre results!

Europe/Athens (current offset from server time: 02:00:00)
Europe/Amsterdam (current offset from server time: 03:00:00)
Europe/Copenhagen (current offset from server time: 02:00:00)
Europe/Istanbul (current offset from server time: 02:00:00)
Europe/Lisbon (current offset from server time: 03:00:00)
Europe/Moscow (current offset from server time: 01:00:00)
Africa/Johannesburg (current offset from server time: 04:00:00)

and going back to London

Europe/London (current offset from server time: 02:00:00)

Hey-ho, never mind.

Interesting! Times in this Forum show Latest posts done today as occurring on my computer as 06/10/2016?

Just got to thinking, I think that my original post about time discrepancy was correct but not for the reasons I thought it seems that some users who have london set as a timezone have an offset of zero hours setting their default time to GMT and others like myself to GMT +1 making it British summer time, so someone with no offset could put in say 2000 but me with the offset for BST is shown as a different time.

Well no, that's completely different to what was said up thread which was "The forum posts are correct, but the games aren't"

Interesting bit of behaviour, absolutely consistent over a significant period (I assume it's been happening since the new site went live but it took me a while to notice). Whenever I've read the forum I log out before leaving the site (and I wait until shown as such). But when I return to the Simsig site, I'm shown as logged in!

Have you tried clearing cookies for SimSig.co.uk? I remember that after Geoff had declared this issue as fixed, I had to manually clear my browser's cookies once in order for logging out to actually start working.

Interestingly, the next time I logged in after posting, I had to log in properly. So I'm taking it either Geoff quietly sorted something easy or the cookie somehow got itself deleted - though I don't know how! If the former, I imagined Geoff would know all was now well.

Well yes of course they will! As you are 12 hours ahead of the BST!! (Or around that anyway)

I haven't touched that bit for a while but I have occasionally seen issues. Unable to reproduce on demand, of course.

What browser are you using?

Using Firefox (not sure how to find version etc number) on a Win7 platform.
