Hello all.

I have noticed that when you set your time zone in your user profile it changes the time zone of the posts within the forums. it also changes the time zone for the latest post on the forum second page however the time zones of the latest post stays in GMT on the forums front page.

Is there a way to change this? It does make things a bit confusing at times.

Hi Scott,
We have made changes to this system of updating the times for users based on their own time zone, but to be honest it affects so many pages and areas that it's just a complex mess at the moment. For example I know there was a perfectly good reason I changed the dates to rely more on BST/GMT but it's been so long I don't remember why I did that.

Luckily I am doing a comprehensive re-write of all the sites systems including the forum so this will definitely be something I will look at during that process.

Thanks,
Jim
