DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME -- UPDATE YOUR PROFILE

applestar · Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:28 pm

Daylight Savings Time has started for some of us, and the Profile setting for timezone will need to be updated.

Now for some reason, it is messed up so the selection doesn't reflect the correct relationship to the GMT. For example, NJ and other Eastern Daylight Savings time zone should be set to "GMT +5" You'll know you got it right when the posting time stamp shows correct time.

The time has never been right for me. I have changed my profile time zone and it is still showing the wrong time. Even kentucky windage never can correct it

What did you change it to?

I'm trying to decide if I should reset my light timers -- they were originally set up to turn on a little before dawn, then stay on for 16 hrs. So *technically* they are still turning on at about the right "time"... Maybe more like @dawn now.

My WNW window gets no sun during the winter months, but now, the westering/setting sun shines into that window a while, giving the tomato seedlings a bit of sunshine.

GMT + 5 hours

It may work now...

I never changed mine the last time, so it is now right again!

Just checking mine.

LA47 · Mon Mar 11, 2013 1:30 am

Nope. I tried to change it and it just keeps going back to the same thing. What am I doing wrong?

After changing the Profile setting, did you hit SUBMIT?

LA47 · Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:42 am

Nope! Gee, now it works.

We have two vehicles that don't automatically change so they just stay wrong for 4 months a year or so. It's 5:18 pm here, now.

I'm not awake yet and ya'll spring this on me.

Apparently you have to post in order for your personal time to be displayed. Consequently, this is my test to see what time I'm in.

I was off by two hours. Hopefully I made the adjustment in the correct direction.

Yep, got it right the first time!

To make your Time show the correct time, go into your profile and scroll to the section where it shows to set your GMT Time Zone. I'm on the East Coast so my setting is -4 hours. If your on Central Time, let's say one hou difference from East Coast, then you should set it for -5 hours and if you're on the West Coast then the correct setting should be -7 hours.

Yay it's working!

Yes. Thank you. The time was 6 minutes off and I have seen this before. Now it is 3 minutes.

how bout another

Charlie MV · Wed Mar 20, 2013 5:32 pm

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anyone really care?

My car and truck are right for a few months each year because I'm too lazy to learn how to set the time by reading the smart papers.

My computer, Direct TV and one clock reset automatically but other than that, digital clocks stay on daylight savings time. I do reset wheel clocks.

IndyGerdener · Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:23 pm

HAHA it is the time for people to remember the time by something that can stand the test of time!!

GOOGLE!!!

Being pushed and shoved by people trying to
Beat the clock, oh, no I just don't know.........

What about those of us who don't save daylight?

testing, testing.....

lorax · Fri Mar 22, 2013 3:55 pm

OK, Webmaster or whoever's in control of this feature: phpBB has a feature where you can choose whether or not to adjust for daylight savings. It doesn't seem to be enabled here....

I had to fix my profile, because I'd been time shifted. Ecuador, being as it is at the equator, doesn't do daylight savings. Our days don't vary more than 5 minutes across the year....
