Daylight Savings Time - Casinomeister's Online Casino and Poker Forum

SlotsWizard · #1 (**permalink**) 31st October 2007, 02:11 PM

This is more of a vBulletin problem... but it's not calculating the current time (EST) correctly because of the daylight savings time change that went into effect this year... it's showing the hour 1 earlier than it should be.

The good news is that it will only be a problem for a couple more weeks because we set our clocks back sometime in November (damned if I know when, though).

For what it's worth, I had to correct my computer's time this past weekend as well because it turned the clock back an hour too soon. Guess I should go browse through the XP updates to get the DST patch.

Hmmm. That's funny. It's showing the correct time here.

Check your User CP under User Options - Date & Time Options. Make sure the box is checked to detect DST.

Thank you Slotswizard

, Sunday morning my PC was an hour earlier and I thought oh $%% I forgot to change the clocks last night. So I change everything, do yard work, etc, my husband wants to watch football, I want to watch Desperate Housewives that night and guess what? It really was 9PM when I thought it was 8PM. Yes I felt like an idiot but at least someone else's computer did the same thing!!!!

It was on "Automatically detect DST settings" but that was when it was showing the incorrect time.

I changed it to "DST corrections always on" and that did the trick.
