Time format?

[ShaneG_old]

What time zone is the server/contests and such on? I would like to sync mine up so I'm not feeling like a day ahead or behind. :-? Thanks!

You set up your "local time" in your Profile.

At the moment my local time in my Profile is GMT/UTC + 0 Hours, (until it changes again in a few weeks time)

If you tick the "Enable automatic Daylight Savings Time change" box it should do what it says. That should save you a lot of confusion.

I've always had that box ticked, but it only seemed to affect the Forum Server's time (Eastern Standard Time), rather than my local time......!

I've always had to correct my local time manually on the day that it changes.

I can't remember when the forum was last updated so this might be a new feature. I just unchecked the box & it shows the time an hour earlier than it is. This is correct as we're still in BST which is GMT + 1 hour.

I've had it set on my local time since I joined, thing is I want to set it for whereever contest deadlines are decided, that way I don't wind up missing the boat because I live on the other side of the planet.
I currently have it set to GMT/UTC+0 and my clock on Simv says it's 6:46pm, but it's 1:42pm here in Ohio. Not a big deal, just my OCD getting the best of me! Thanks.

LOL! What time is it in Costa Geriatrica , Hagar?
Hadn't noticed that before. 8-)

Why not select your local time in your Profile, from the drop down list...

..Eastern Standard Time...

It's now 6:48 pm. Same as Fozzer.

Cool, for some reason I thought SimV was run mostly from Europe.
That will make it alot easier then.

This is an international forum. The members that set & judge the competitions are spread all over the globe. I'm not sure which time zone they use for deadlines. Possibly GMT. Might be best to ask someone like Fly2e.

[ShaneG_old]

Thanks again to both of you! I will do that.

I know how to do it , I was just trying to get my forum clock in time with the contest deadlines. I use my object dock clock for my local time telling needs.
