Forum time stamps

[Nicoleise]

Hi again

I just noticed something with these forums of ours. At the very buttom it shows a reference of time, which is great. Looks like this, by the way :

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 11:17 PM.

I only have one problem with that. When I looked at my watch it clearly stated that the time was 0:17. And as I know for a fact I live in GMT +1, I couldn't help by wonder.

I proceeded to check the upcoming Daylight Saving Time, where we put our clocks back one hour, thinking that may be it, and I just missed it. However, according to this site I found, that shouldn't happen till this sunday:

Sunday, 28th October, 2007 - 02:00:00 - UTC +1 - GMT +1 - DST ENDS

So I guess it's the forum not being totally right, and I assume it's supposed to say GMT (+0) ?

On that topic, is it possible to make the forums a little more precise in dating posts. I mean. The whole "1 day ago, 1 week ago, 2 weeks ago, 1 month ago" etc is fine. But couldn't it show the actual date and time somewhere too ? :)

well at moment its still daylight saving hours so it will still say +1, the site goes by GMT : london time i think,

I have noticed that it's an hour behind my time as well ... like the DST never happened :lol: ... so not sure why it's like that.

It doesn't matter does it ? GMT +0 means just that even if no one lives in that time zone because of DST...

Its to keep it neat throughout the year and everyone knows when to apply DST to it and everyone seems to live in different timezones anyway.

just to get things straight, the official GMT doesn't even change with DST ;)

so then it could be right...

LMFAO! Come on guys as long as you know what time it is where you live then why do you worry about time from our site.
Picky picky.:p:rolleyes:
