Daylight Savings Time

Ok, is it me or did the Forum's clock use to be Pacific Standard Time and is now...

...well, to be accurate, Pacific Standard Time?

As opposed to Pacific Daylight Time, that is.

Being on the East Coast of the US (EST), the Forum Clock used to be 3 hours behind my local time but, now that Daylight Savings Time has started (and EST turns to EDT), it is 4 hours off. Does Cryptic ignore Daylight Savings Time because some places don't observe it, or did someone forget to change the clocks to PDT?

    Yep. I'm aware. I have it set to Pacific Time because that is Game Time. It is even set to account for DST. The fact remains, the Forum Clock is still 4 hours behind my clock, when it should only be 3.

    Hey that's great - I can't seem to find the option to change these in my USER CP.

    (Interestingly, when I click on the heading "Edit Profile" (or maybe its Your Profile) I'm taken to an ARC page.

    What option am I supposed to see in USER CP to be able to change these?

    Scroll down, it's a set of dropdown menu options.

    You'll pass: "Login & Privacy", "Messaging & Notifications", "Thread Display Options"...
    before you get to "Date & Time."

    Once you have it set, let me know if the time seems off to you.

    I think there is a bit of a problem on their end, though.
    I had my profile set to "Automatically detect DST settings" and it wasn't correct. Changed it to "DST corrections always on", and now it's showing correctly (usually CST (-6 GMT)).

    Just gotta love PWI's back-end stuff...

    Thank you for the time...

    Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
    • Full, Story-driven, select from start 1-50 Klingon Side
    • Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable
    • Expand Dil and Rep/Fleet Marks to regular story content

    Whew... Thanks for confirming it isn't just me. :)

    So, now when DST comes and goes I can add this forum to the clocks I need to change.

    Shoudn't just be PWI's backend stuff... Any and all forums that one may visit have the exact same settings... This forum probably wasn't built by PWE or Cryptic... it was probably designed by Invision, phpBB, vBulletin, or any of the other myriad of download-and-install forum softwares that can be found along the web anywhere...
