That's what I said, the time is correct when you are logged in, it's incorrect when you are logged off (default).rewebster said:nope-still wrong-didn't help--turned it ("correct for daylight savings time") off, restarted --still the same
deleted all items from internet cache, cookies, and all the index.dat files
still reading wrong time when not logged into PF--right when logged on
next?

You can only select the DST correction option on a registered account.
When you are logged in, the site sees your preferences and adjusts for them, so if you have the option to compensate for DST selected it will compensate when you log in. When you are not logged in, there is no compensation for DST, so for half the year you would see the correct time when you are logged off and half the year it will be off by an hour. I thought Greg had fixed this once in the past.rewebster said:do you mean we're all right when we're logged on, and we don't even know what time it is when we're not?

Next spring when time changes again, you will see the correct time again when you are logged off. Unless there is a fix for it.
I don't know if members outside the US are affected.

No, there is an option to compensate for DST that switches your time back and forth when the time changes.Moonbear said:That would only make sense if we were still in DST. I don't know what time zone rewebster is in, but it might be more that the default is set for Greg's time zone, or maybe the server time zone, and when you log in, you can set your own time zone.

Moonbear said:My point is that such "compensation" is only needed when it IS DST. The entire world is now on standard time, so there's nothing to "compensate" for. Had he asked last week or last month, it would have made perfect sense that it was something not compensating for DST wherever he is.
Don't forget, it goes both ways. It moves your time an hour ahead in the spring and an hour back in the fall. The DST option changed the time on my computer one hour back when ther time reverted. When he's logged in, the DST option shows him the correct time. When I'm logged in I see the correct posting time, when I log off, the time shows an hour later.Moonbear said:My point is that such "compensation" is only needed when it IS DST.

see the hour (or hour difference)
doesn't make sense still, ---yes --I went into CP (PF control panel options) and change it to all the diff. settings and it was still the same. So, no one else is seeing an hour diff. when completely logged off?

Can you think of another reason we would be off by an hour now that the time has changed?
If you go into user options and select "DST options always on", you'll see the wrong time on the post.
