    Hi, my members are complaining the time Zone is all messed up on the forum and of course it is for me too! How do I change this?

    Hi there,

    They can change the timezone of their view on their own profiles.

    And you can change the forum's default timezone by Admin Panel -> Display -> Forum -> Configuration -> General -> System Timezone.

    Have a good day!

    Hello you have to make sure the times are right on the ACP and on the profiles of each members.


    ACP >> General Tab >> Time zone wrong on forum ConfigurationĀ Forum >> Configuration >> System TimezoneĀ : Set this to your time zone now save.


    No ask your members to make sure they change the settings in their profiles then save.


    Ā Ā NOTE:
    Please remember when the member logs out of the forum they will see the system settings times and time zone not their own ones until they log in again.

    Here is the link to my forum, not only is the time wrong, it also says 22:14 on some posts, that's not even a real time? Unless if it's military time? and in that case I still just want regular time?

    Hello,

    Same place I mentioned in the Admin Panel except one up and it's 'Date Format'.

    Same goes with your members on their profiles.

    I think I might of fixed the problem, but it won't change posts time that were previously posted correct?
