I had thought of it, but the only thing I know about Connecticut, is that it got mentioned in a Bugs Bunny cartoon once.

I either break out the Atlas, Google it, or wait for Bettina to tell me ! I think she's GMT -5 ?

The eastern time on the clock is the right time for me. I'm not sure though about the GMT -5 though. For some forums I'm on GMT-5 is correct, but for others GMT-4 is the right time. I'm pretty sure GMT-5 is what it's susposed to be. Maybe the other forums are wrong or something.

If my opinion matters, I am on the East coast,and on this board GMT-4 is right for me now. Here in another month, we stop daylight savings time, so then it should be GMT-3, or something like that.

The board will compensate for daylight savings.

Those GMTs are really confusing sometimes. I wonder why some forums are different though. On this site GMT-4 is the right time for me. However, I just looked up Connecticut's time and it's GMT-5.

Oh wait, maybe I read it wrong. This is what the site said.

Quote:

Connecticut is in the Eastern Time Zone in the United States of America (USA). Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5).

Like most states in the USA, Daylight-Saving Time (DST) is observed in Connecticut , where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour to EDT; which is 4 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-4).

After the Summer months the time in Connecticut is shifted back by 1 hour to US Eastern Standard Time (EST) or (GMT-5).

So, if the board compensates for daylight savings, why is it not working? When I first made this site, GMT-5 was right for me. Now I had to switch it to GMT-4 to make it correct again. Hmm... Confused

how confusing.

We have had problems with the times on the site but it was due to a problem, at the italy end

I don't think the board does actually adjust.

You had to input it manually when you set it up?

Kana3 · Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 8:19 am Post subject:

Yes. You set the Time-Zone in the Admin Panel. But generally you just see that time as a Guest. As soon as you logon, you see the time that's set in your User profile.

Daylight savings time is over. Time should resume to its normal schedule.

Ah but it aint, although one of the clocks is set to show Gmt, the one next to my name is still showing Bst
