Title: Daylight Savings
Post by: RoguePhoenix on October 16, 2006, 04:35:18 PM: Okay for awhile there I kept wondering where the time was going. I take it the board doesn't account for daylight savings time. If it's easy to implement would be nice to have. If not I'll grumble on for the next two weeks until it doesn't matter until April again.

It's now 6:24 PM but it's going to read 5:24 when I post it. I guess I could just ignore it but I always seem to look at it and say wait a sec.

Australia is weird how?

I mean, aside from the fact that only some states have daylight savings, and that each state impliments it on a different date, there is nothing else weird ( ) about it, is there????

Post by: abatishko on October 16, 2006, 09:55:40 PM: phpBB doesn't implement client-based daylight savings, because it's used globally, and daylight savings is HARD to implement correctly. That's because some places do daylight savings, some don't. Some go forward from the standard time, others go back during a different part of the year. Some change by and hour, others change by only a half hour.

Now, the time is based off the server time, so if the server is set to use daylight savings locally, then the official forum time will be based on that.

But, the last news I saw, was that phpBB wouldn't be implementing a client setting for daylight savings.
