Hi,

Can someone explain why the times of the post on this BB are stated as being AEST yet they are way out?

eg it says that the current time is 7:13am yet to me it is 9:13pm (in SA).

Alix,

In user cp, options, set the time to GMT London ie 0 hours offset.

Thanks, that did it.

I'm confused,

I've noticed the same problem as Alix over the past couple of days, but to get the correct time I had to select the +10hr option (aest) which is where I am. The original time zone option was set at 0 (london) which is not where I am. :confused:

Ditto - I was at +0 and everything was okay. Then Thursday or Friday last it went haywire, I changed to +10 and its okay again.

No big deal - just weird.

Same thing happen to me. What gives. Maybe someone fixed the original time problem and did not tell us.

I am getting confused. I have now had to reset my time zone back to Adelaide time offset from GMT to get the time display correct. Did someone reset something?

Anyway it is better now that the BB times match what my wall clock says.

Happened to me as well just out of the blue - have now corrected it.
I wonder if it is to do with our computers - mine is HP Pavilion but its about to be pensioned off for more powerful one
