Forum Local Time is wrong

[Thorin]

When I look at my profile page, I notice that my Local Time setting is off by an hour.  Is there a way to fix that?

You can tweak your personal time offset on the Look and Layout Preferences page but the server should be on MST (I checked the time and it is correct for MST) and the offset looks right to me.

For me, it's wrong:

You have to manually set DST.

I fixed it by clicking Auto Detect.  Although I expect to have to do that again when Daylight Savings Time ends - MST stands for Mountain Standard Time, and the server, based on its physical location, should be using MDT at present.

Sorry but I have no control over that option on the server level for the forums.  I don't have a clue how to fix the issue for you.

Just a quick note:  I haven't change my profile options, yet it seems to be correct for me...

[CowGirl]

It was wrong for me, but I some how changed it.

Have you checked your own regional settings Throin?

The settings on the server appear correct, and default offset displays correctly for me without issue and I moved time zones.

[Thorin]

Well, that screen cap was from my work machine, but it's set to the right region as far as I know.  I can't check right now, of course.

[Lazybones]

Your screen cap does not show what windows has set for its regional setting.

From the command prompt you can run the following command to find out.

C:\>w32tm /tz

Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: 480min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
  [Standard Name:"Pacific Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:11 D:1 DoW:0)]
  [Daylight Name:"Pacific Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:3 D:2 DoW:0)]


For reference this is what the RW server returns

C:\>w32tm /tz
Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: 420min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias)
  [Standard Name:"Mountain Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:11 D:1 DoW:0)]
  [Daylight Name:"Mountain Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:3 D:2 DoW:0)]

Yeah, my work machine and home machine both clearly state that they're in MDT at the moment (by looking at the clock applet).  And they have the same timezone as the server:
