Title: Time stamp off
Post by: Tim Collins on August 28, 2009, 11:50:40 AM: The time stamp (for lack of a better word) is off on my postings by 2 hours. Is this a default thing? I don't ever remember setting it when I registered. I know its not the end of the world, but how can it be fixed?

profile accessible from http://tighar.org/news (http://tighar.org/news).

My time zone setting is +2. I'm in Eastern Daylight Time.

We'll find out if my setting is accurate when I post this ...

Post by: Martin X. Moleski, SJ on August 28, 2009, 04:14:36 PM: OK--plus two worked for me. The time stamp on the post matches the time here in Buffalo.

So the steps are:

Profile / Look and Layout Preferences / Time Offset

I don't know whether the "auto detect" option works. I may have used
it when I first set up my profile.
