Thread: Is the Day/Date set wrong somewhere?

    GMT-6 vs GMT+6

    Arkansas (Central Standard Time) is GMT -6 (minus six).

    Because it works out to exactly 12 hours difference if you select +6 instead, the time will look right, but the date will be wrong, as you will have set your timezone for the opposite side of the world.

    I did notice a few people have it set that way.

    Also, to adjust for Daylight Savings Time, you can set it to GMT-5 insted of -6. Just remember to set it back to -6 when we go from CTD to CST.

    I wish Nuke/phpBB (the software running the site) would just automatically adjust for DST, but I don't think it can.

    Noticed even though my time was set at GMT -6 the time was off so I have set it for GMT-5 to see if that works

    Yeah, that is the daylight savings time effect I was talking about. During the summer (DST) you need to set it to -5 and change it back to -6 when we go off DST. Unfortunately the software on the web site apparently can't do that automatically, since the rules for DST vary so much from place to place.

    I haven't completely given up on this. I'd still like to automate it some way.
