Re: it says i registered "today"

is it off 24 hours on new messages after you've rechecked both "Admin-Options-Server Timezone" and "Profile-Timezone"?
or is this on old messages already in the database?

but you have obv. done something, I don't know what, or where, as in the start of the thread you said it was 5 hours off, and now it's 24 hours off?

To be able to hunt down a bug one needs as much information as possible, so one can duplicate the thing that has happened, so I also say: please post the results here. smile

Re: it says i registered "today"

this is a script error, because IBF does not have this problem at all.

Re: it says i registered "today"

Ok, thanks. I'll have a look at it.

Do you think you could help me out by answering the questions I asked a few posts back?

Re: it says i registered "today"

1. Where is the server located. If you don't know, try entering the IP address of the server: http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation

England.

2. What did the script I showed you output?

i am 16 hours off from the server

3. What have you selected for "Server timezone" in admin/options?

00GMT

4. What have you selected for "Timezone" in your user profile?

-08 PST

5. How many hours off is it now? I mean, if you post a message and look at the post time directly after.

24 hours, it reports the post date wrong.

Re: it says i registered "today"

Perhaps you could try something for me? I don't know if you removed PunBB already or if you still have it installed. If you do, open up include/common.php and find:

$today = date($options['date_format'], $now);
$yesterday = date($options['date_format'], $now-86400);

Replace it with

$today = date($options['date_format'], $now+($diff*3600));
$yesterday = date($options['date_format'], $now+($diff*3600)-86400);

This is not a permanent fix. I just want to check if it resolves your problem.

Ah, great :) Thanks for helping out.

The fix was easy because the mistake was really stupid :)
