Daylight Savings Time
 

Ok, so DST just ended here which means that we set our clocks back an hour. How do I adjust the time here on GT? I thought it automatically did it, but the time is wrong.

I think you have to go into User CP > Options, then on the time slider thing near the bottom, just pick whatever one is above yours.


IE. -8 hours, change it to - 9 hours.




Thats what I did anyways when I noticed it didnt change.

It should be automatic? It reads your computer's clock time when you post. I don't think there would be a database table for all times; that would be much too large and hard to change all at once.

The mnemonic "spring forward, fall back", tells us how to reset clocks when the time changes.

Did you do anything special to celebrate this holiday?

I had an Oreo milkshake at my local Jack-in-the-Box.

well, after I posted this thread I went back to my homework for a while. Since I came back the time is now 2 hours later than its supposed to be.

So, it seems that it automatically changed it but it went the wrong way.

When I posted the thread it was 1:45 am my time but GT said it was 2:45. Now, it is 2:30 my time but GT says 4:30.

Maybe I should just go in and set it myself.

Start > Control Panel > Date and Time > Internet Time > Automatically Synchronize With an Internet Time Server

You'll never have to worry about time again.

I went into user CP and set it for central time (my time zone) and it fixed the problem. What would be the benefit of having my internet time synchronized? (i'm not being a smart alec, I just don't know...)

For some reason the computers at work set back 1 hour, but the phones went back 2 hours (the time on phones are adjusted somewhere else, can't manually change each phone from ecah cubicle).

Confused a few people but meh :p

I love this!, when I go down to the busstop, its already light out.

It just depends on when the host resets the server times. Sometimes they are lazy bastards.
