Topic: Global timezone setting doesn't work - local settings does

As the title says, no matter what global setting I set for time zone, the forum just displays the server time. But individual user setting of time zone seems to work fine. Any ideas here?

The global setting is for guests. It's also copied to the local setting when a user registers. If a user is logged in, his local timezone is more important than the global one.

Okay. So it is not possible to override local settings?

- Edit: -
But still the global setting should be possible to adjust.. in this case it is not.

From admin panel - no. You can do it in a SQL query.

I didn't get what the case. You can change the global setting, then logout and see that the time of posts has been changed.
