Title: Forum Clock Question
Post by: Ian on December 18, 2005, 01:33:09 AM

Now...I can only assume that most of us live in the United States....so...is there a way an administrator could change the clock from Greenwich time?

Simply done.  Click on Profile at the top.  Go to Look & Feel, if it says Forum Default this means its GMT or Greenwich Mean Time.  Two lines down it says "Time Offset" then put in how many hours you are away from Greenwich, England.  A helpful place to find out how many negative (or positive) numbers you need to put is at this Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#List_of_time_zones_and_contained_areas).  That should work.  If you see a star next to the region, it means you need to add an hour for Daylight Savings Time.

For me, left coast during standard time is -9.  During daylight savings its -8.

If you want to set your board time to Parallel time, I would have no idea how to figure it out or if it is even capable of calculation such time.

Thank you Ian, for bringing that up, and victoriawinters, for clearing that up!

LOL We change it?

I didn't know, since on InvisionFree forums, you can only change it from the administration control panel.
