I wish THERE get there server time change right as events dont show right time

Helper_Hecate · November 5th, 2009, 04:22 PM

Our servers operate on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), also known as UTC (Universal Time Coordinated)

This means that our servers do not know what daylight saving time is - there is no Dayilght Saving Time in UTC/GMT.

Our servers provide your web browser with a GMT time, and your web browser uses the time settings on your computer to set what you see as the time in a web page.

What this means is, if you are seeing incorrect times in event web pages, your computer's time zone setting (and perhaps even the DST setting itself) is not correct. Please adjust your computer's timezone/DST settingss to be correct, and then you will see correct local time on web pages in There.

I just login to the event it says 430 pm event starts and my computer says 639 pm now says event still going on so to me the server times not right as my computer is set right few days ago before time change here in Arkansas all the zones where same as my computer but now they are not one in game was set for time so be nice if they could all be the same time alot easer to go to events on time not 2 hours off

The server time is absolutely correct.

Based on what you describe, the time zone setting (and maybe the DST setting too) is definitely not correct. Check your settings and readjust them so that they are correct.

Maebee had something weird going on too with the time in There recently.

She is in the same time zone as both Kass and myself. She had scheduled a card event for 8pm. Or what she thought was 8pm. At 8pm (by her computer clock, my computer clock, and Kasss' clock) the event should have been starting but it wasn't. So we compared our schedules and on my schedule and Kass's schedule the card event was scheduled for 9pm. On Maebee's schedule it said the event was at 8pm but it wasn't listed as happening "now" even though it was after 8pm.

And that wasn't the only time that happened either. She had a few events that she had scheduled that week start at a different time for everyone else then when it said it started for her.

But after the time changed, everything went back to normal. And her events are now reading the same time for her as they are for me.

It was very strange.

yes it was strange as my sorry Hecate my computer all times was right so I log in out several time and was getting strange times when I would change my time to other times it would reset my time in THERE to my right time but my computer time be off 3 hours rofl so I finally just set mine back to central time reinstalled There it fixed it self but I'm going log into this today check it again I just installed windows 7 on this computer t2 days ago so don't what deal is but oh well it was funny

I think it has to do with the Daylight Savings Time setting. I didn't read all the posts here, so sorry if I am repeating. I had that same issue last year I think.

Maebee · November 7th, 2009, 06:12 AM

Yup Sheetz it had to do with the daylight savings time.. it was literally only for two weeks this happened to me but all of my November events were correct it was only my october events of the last two weeks. Made for interesting events I tell ya...lol

apecore · November 7th, 2009, 09:51 AM

daylight saving time is the reason..

willidream · November 7th, 2009, 10:09 AM

I'll go out on a limb and suggest that Maebee is using a pre-2007 computer (when the dates for daylight savings time were changed), and that the computer was not patched with the timezone update.

Was your time also skewed for a week or two in the spring?
