Re: Daylight savings time
What's your timezone setting? As folks have said, I get this automatically simply by saying that I want America/New_York as my timezone.BioTube wrote:Are there any plans to support this?

AFAIK we do handle DST automatically but as pointed out above our server is in Europe. So I would assume that it doesn't switch until 29th of March.BioTube wrote:I was talking about within the forum software, hence the placement in "Forum stuff & feedback".
Edit: And as the caffeine started working I see that the question is about the software. To answer that: I don't know... I kinda thought it did as long as you selected the correct timezone in your profile. Then again, I didn't even know you guys were out of sync with the rest of the world...
Seems like I remember having to reset time in my profile...

The way it works here in the good old US of A , a government BY the people and FOR the people is this:
The clock manufacturers wanted more money , so they greased the palms of a few politicians who passed a law changing when DST changed , thereby BORKing most of our clocks , and after we throw them away in aggravation , We the People went out and bought new ones !
And , rest assured , that just as soon as the sale of clocks falls off again , they'll probably change it Back !
GOD DAMN , I'm proud to be a broke American !

If you bought a new clock because you dont know how to change it you deserve to be broke.Pick2 wrote:The way it works here in the good old US of A , a government BY the people and FOR the people is this:

I have two alarm clocks that the manufacturers were thoughtful enough to include automatic DST ! there is no way to turn it off and no way to change the date that it kicks in and out. so now I have to add an hour and a few weeks later subtract an hour , and do the exact opposite in the fall !mike102282 wrote:If you bought a new clock because you dont know how to change it you deserve to be broke.
( You really know how to ruin a good Rant , don't you )
So, if I have got this right; the US has suddenly decided to move the date for DST. This of course breaks everything. Do we plan to fix it for you? (Ok... that was a cheap shot )
Seriously though... I honestly don't know. If the maintainer of phpbb fixes the packages and if we upgrade I guess it will be fixed. Also if we decide to move to phpbb3 I'd expect it to be fixed. In any case I doubt much will be done about it before we move to DST anyway so you'll probably have to live with it for a couple of weeks until we catch up.

DST is a local thing everywhere. Someplaces use it, someplaces don't. It's not simple. I doubt that phpbb3 would fix it. The correct way to do it would be to display time based on the settings of the computer the user is sitting at.
Right now there aren't any timezones, as such, in the profiles. There's just a +/- from UTC. Which is about all it can do. To handle it correctly it would need to know the persons desired location (as in city/country at a minimum) and then apply the correct DST rules for that locality (if any). Most of the world doesn't use DST.

Re: Daylight savings time
If DST do not work, it maybe because you have not installed ntpdate packed.
In supperuser mode do this:
#apt-get install ntpdate (and [ENTER])
That solved my problem
