The time on my posts is an hour off. Does the software recognize the 'new' DST rules

I have the correct time zone entered

 

[REWahoo]

Did you opt for "Automatically detect DST selections" when you set your time zone?

Yes

Still that one hour difference

You are so behind the times. Get with the program.

the olsen data on the server could be behind the times. a "zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/<Khan's Selected Zone>" would let us know.

I've been ignoring this fascinating thread. Khan's time zone looks right to me. Shows up here as 4:23 which is 7:23 EDT.

Using "UseCP" and then the settings tab can you not enter your time zone (about half way down the page) and/or adjust it to be correct in your postings?

I automatically detest DST. It is now 9:23 PM.

You may want to check your computer clock. Mine reset to DST today (I had to manually set it back one hour), even though we went on DST several weeks ago (I had to set it forward manually then). I guess there is an algorithm in the bios programmed to the old change date, which used to be the first Sunday in April.

Depending on old (or new) your computer is there usually is a BIOS setting (F12 on boot up usually) that can set DST to start and end correctly and automatically. You may have to update your BIOS also.

Also, if you are running Vista you can doubl click on the time in your "tray" and it should bring up the windows time setting applet where you can change the timezone and/or clock time.

For some magic reason my Magellan GPS wanted to reset to EST when I turned it on Apr 1. Since it was already on correct time just pushed the no button.

Maybe the pols should do a way with time changes. With all the clocks around the house I can waste an hour re setting them.
