Stupid Guest Tricks

I just noticed that the time at the bottom of the screen for me was an hour slow.

Does the forum still change times at the old DST change instead of the newer one?

Yup mine is an hour off as well Im guessing due to the dates of the switch being changed a year ago the program that calculate the date to do the switch are off.

I hate the whole time change thing, after living in the tropics with no time change I HATE this

You need to go into your control panel and make the change there, I believe there is a check box or something to activate DST.

Hum I doubled checked mine is set to auto detect

Yeah, I think that feature is not working :)

I just noticed it, now that you mentioned it. but then again, as long as we are on SGT, time dosn't matter!!!

my computer clock is always messed up and I do not care about time of when I posted lol.

Thanks. I figure the problem was caused by the changes the government made and nobody ever told the software about it.

You can work around the issue by going to User CP -> Edit Options -> DST Correction Option and changing it to "always on" (or "always off" if you are one of the lucky ones who's local government doesn't believe in screwing with your sleep patterns twice a year). Once you press "save changes" and refresh your browser everything should be correct again.

Yeah, that's what I did. That's only a temporary fix though because as soon as the software catches up to DST the time will change again.

I hate DST, it may have once had a use but not anymore, especially if what I've read here is true and more energy is actually used, instead of less since DST was instituted for originally to save energy.

Last year, I had to make the change on my computer manually; this year, so far, the computer changed automatically. But I'll wait until the first Sunday in April in order to see if it changes again.

Do you run Windows XP? A good while back one of the updates from Microsoft updated when Windows changes the time to compensate for the added time to DST.
