What time is it ?

[Manoverboard]

Does anybody know how to move the Forum's clock forward one hour ?

[oldbluefox]

I don't but I think I know a couple of men who do. The trouble is neither are on this side of the water.

Isn't that the perogative of the ship's captain? Anyway, in 6 months time it will be right again.

Members are required to change the DST setting in their profile, in order that the correct time will appear (the board time has been set)

[Kendhni]

To reset your own time
1. select 'user control panel[ (or the little cog at the top right)
2. select the 'Board Preferences' tab
3. select the 'Yes' radio button for 'Summer time/DST is in effect'
4. click on 'submit'

Thanks Ken and David. Sorted!!

[Manoverboard]

Thank you

I have a suggestion .... change the default to ' Yes '

[david63]

Changing the default to "yes" would mean that the time would still be one hour out for six months of the year

[Manoverboard]

I have another suggestion ...

Add an ' Auto Adjust ' Radio Button

[david63]

What a good idea MoB - perhaps you would like to try and code it, bearing in mind that it would have to cater for every time change in the world. Try looking at DST in Wikkipedia to get some idea of the problem.

Foxy reckons he could write the code ......

Well, the good news is that we will all know what to do next time round.
