Board Clock Incorrect

[lynx]

Is it just me, or do other people see the clock an hour ahead of the correct time.
I know it's a small point, and for the time being I could correct it in my profile settings, but things will go wrong again when Daylight Saving ends and I won't be able to correct it by another hour.

Same here.

[ooo]

[Adster]

Yep same here

[asmithz]

Yep same here also.

[mogadishu]

The time is right for me.. its 4 minutes off my pc clock, but the hour is right.

[asmithz]

You may adjust the base time zone (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?act=UserCP&CODE=04)

Works for Me

Yes, I said I could do that in my original post, but when the clocks go back next month I won't be able to take another hour off so the clock will be wrong again.

This suggests that either the system clock is out by an hour, or that the board software doesn't know that Daylight Savings is in operation in its TZ. Could even be that the software or the server is set up for the wrong TZ.

[VB]

You don't need to take another hour off because the server also does this. So you never have to change something there .. just set your Timezone and everything should be fine.

I just noticed that the board clock seems to be set approx. 5 mins too quick.
My current settings are GMT with daylight savings unset.

Anyone else having this problem?

[Lamsey]

Yup. But does it really matter? :huh:

[uNz[i]]

I'm GMT +9:30 and the board clock is 1 hour fast for me.
But who cares? Time is an abstract concept anyway. :lol:

You probably need to tick or untick the 'daylight savings time' checkbox.

Tried that already :D
Ticking the daylight savings box makes the board 2 hours fast.
So when daylight saving starts, I&#39;ll leave the box unticked and the clock will be right for the next 6 months. ;)

[VB]

Then just change the timezone.

[Gre1]

I agree really doesn&#39;t matter as long as u know what time it is.

No not really, just checking it was the board and not me as this problem has been mentioned before.

Just tried that... but there&#39;s no timezone in the list that gives GMT +8:30

No big deal anyway

[TheMusicMan]

I&#39;ll correct it with the next backup (if i remember) :)

[TheMusicMan]

Corrected today with the backup

[Virtualbody1234]

Thanks Darker.

We&#39;re back&#33;

Cheers for that Darker :beerchug:

[uNz[i]]

Thanks Darker.. but the clock is still 1 hr fast for GMT +9:30... weird. :unsure:

[TheMusicMan]

Hmm sounds odd.

Ok I try to explain how it works. The server time is GMT (same as UK time) meaning that you should simply go to this page (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?act=UserCP&CODE=04) which looks like

http://www.the-lounge.us/gmt+1.gif


and select your timezone. If you you live in germany select GMT +1, if you have Central Time (US / CA) then select GMT - 6 etc etc

That should work corryctly. Remember to uncheck the "Is daylight savings time in effect?" box since the server changes the time if there are time changes in effect.

[asmithz]

The times fine here boss http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/u/djsmile.gif

[uNz[i]]

I&#39;d already done pretty much exactly what you posted above, Darker.

I&#39;ve tried checking and unchecking the daylight savings box.. as you&#39;d expect, checking it makes the clock 2 hours fast, as daylight savings hasn&#39;t started yet.

I&#39;m guessing it&#39;s a bug with the Invision Board software... not the fault of the admins here.

No big deal though, it&#39;s so freakin&#39; inconsequential... :rolleyes:

Edit: typo

[Marius24]

Im not sure if this applies to all of the k lite members but it seems that for me the board clock is 1 hour fast due to daylight saving time. Will the clock be changed or not? :rolleyes:

[callum]

You may have to change it yourself it is in my controls, board settings.

[Marius24]

when i go to change the day light saving time thing it goes ahead 1 hour to 00:51 when it is only 22:51 :blink:

[quiksilver_aus]

I&#39;m pretty sure the board clock is an hour fast. Did u mods forget about daylight savings time :huh: ?
An easy way to remember which way to turn your clocks:

Spring Forward (forward 1 hr)
Fall Back (back 1 hr)

[JONNO_CELEBS]

You can change your own setting in your controls :rolleyes:

[Marius24]

u can change the option in my controls> board settings...



Great minds think alike (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=77185) :lol: :lol: :lol:

[JONNO_CELEBS]

Yeah I&#39;ve known how to do it for ages but just can&#39;t be assed :lol: :lol:

Jonno B)

[Inevitable]

It doesn&#39;t matter. You don&#39;t need the k-lite time to be accurate it&#39;s useless.

[Benno]

maybe you have set it to the wrong timezone?

[quiksilver_aus]

I know you can change your own, but when you pick your timezone and apply the changes, when you click on your user name (top left) it says the user&#39;s local time, which is 1 hr ahead. check it out and see what im saying

[Wizzandabe]

:lol: :lol:

Obsousially.

[Adster]

yeah its quite ammusing I put my clock fowarsd an hr and the US and rest of the world but theres back an 1hr yet I go further ahead of tiem from you all

[cpt_azad]

my friend just told me he starts fasting tomorrow. good ol&#39; muslims.

[wormless]

k-lite for me is an hr ahead 02.36am here

Another Aussie, eh? G&#39;day.

The 1 hour out time bug only seems to affect members in Australia. Darker, Paul and (I assume) VB are aware of it.

My ad-hoc remedy:
Uncheck the daylight savings box in your board settings options, and the board clock should be okay until the clocks go back again next autumn... hopefully by then Invision would have fixed the bug. :)

Bump

There were a few of these topics started, merged them together, so if things seem a little out of sequence...

:lol: :lol:

I wondered. :P

They must have to have everything perfect.

[l_p_4_7]

This whole clock incorrectness...
It don&#39;t really matter but if it ain&#39;t too much trouble we might as well get it fixed cause it can be useful to know when someone posted etc.

I&#39;m GMT and its + 1hour 3 mins out. If I set it to DST then it becomes two hours too fast.

If it could get fixed next backup then that would be cool but if not it don&#39;t really matter :)

I&#39;m in the UK and if I pick GMT then it&#39;s an hour out, ticking "daylight savings time" puts it 2 hours out.

I&#39;ve set it to GMT+1 and it&#39;s correct - all but the 3 minutes anyway.

[Livy]

just noticed that too, looks like someone never set the clock back an hour? or that the clock was always an hour out, and i had dst tu‚
×* of. when i shoulda been on,

[TheFilePirater]

we have a clock?? :huh:

[Livy]

not a clock, but look at the time posted bit, there has to be a clock to get the time for that relative to ur tme zone, :D

edit: we do have a clock, looks at his sig bit, :P

I don&#39;t understand.

I&#39;ve had to tell it that I live in the Azores or the Cape Verde Islands to get the clock right. I expected this to make it nice and warm, but instead it&#39;s still cold and rainy, can someone fix this please.
