I'm running version 2.02 of FUDforum, because I keep encountering fatal errors when trying to upgrade. I am hosted in Britain, which is where all my FUDforum timestamps come from, even though my server is set to default at Pacific time. I noticed that where the Current Time template is, it calls for '!__REQUEST_TIMESTAMP__' Is there any way to manually change this, i.e., after the timestamp is requested, automatically subtract 8 hours off?

Change the timezone to Britain, that'll handle the problem.

Sorry, I was really not clear in that last post. My server is in Britain, but I want the timestamp to show Pacific time. The timestamp shows British time, even though it is set to Pacific time, so I am trying to overcome this and force it to show Pacific time.

You need to change the timezone for yourself in your profile as well.

I have done that as well. It is not just doing this to me - it is doing it to everyone on the server. Also, anonymous users see British time, rather than Pacific time, even though I have it properly configured in the admin section of FUDforum.

What operating system is it and what timezone did you set it to?

If that question is regarding the server that I am on, the OS is some sort of *nix flavor, running Apache. It is set to GMT, because it is located in Britain. I am located in the US, and I have the FUDforum set to Pacific time.

If an anonymous user sees the site, it is reported as being GMT. If a logged in user sees the site, it is reported as GMT unless that users refreshes the page; at that point, Pacific time is shown. Now I am getting more confused Confused

Unusual. Could you give me a url to the forum, so that I could see the problem for myself?

I just went to that forum as anonymous user and I see:

Current Time: Fri Jul 12 17:10:21 PDT 2002

According to Google PDT == Pacific Daylight Saving Time

According to http://www.worldtimezone.com/time-usa12.html
at the time of the check PDT time was indeed 17:10

Hence, I see no problem.
