Something odd seems to have happened, our language setting seem to have got mixed.
If you look to the left of your posts, it no longer says "World: server name", but instead "Monde".
English please, after all, it is the rule! :)

I think it happened about 2 weeks ago. ~ I thought it was just me...
I have absolutely no clue how that happened, but I've fiddled with the code and put it back to how it should be. Thank you for pointing it out! :)Quote:

Yes, back to normal.
Thank you very much Alpaca, appreciated.
Hi,
Not 100% on topic but there is also something strange about the time zone setting. I've changed it several times to (GMT +2) but it sometimes resets to (GMT +1) Brussels, Copenhagen, etc.
Also EET/EEST time zone is missing cities (i.e. Helsinki) that would have the correct DST settings for me.
Hi Durin_d, it seems that the Daylight Saving Detection overrides your chosen timezone setting, so you'll have to put it off to keep using GMT+2

Not sure if EET/EEST can be added to the list though, but I'll try to find out
I've noticed that option and have been using it.
I've forced the DST on now and but I have to manually change it to off 27.10. when the DST ends here.
But still the actual time zone changes from (GMT +2) to (GMT +1) sometimes which makes all the time stamps -1h off. I don't actually know if it has something to do with http-sessions or cookies since I haven't managed reproduce this intentionally.
I looked into adding EET/EEST into the forum's timezone database, but apparently it's not a straightforward process on vBulletin and would require some reprogramming of the forum's code. I can give it a go sometime, but I can't guarantee that I can do it. :(Quote:

The DST is the smaller problem. I can live with the manual DST change but even if I select the EET time zone (GMT+2) that is available in the vBulletin it doesn't stick. I've changed the time zone 3 times today from GMT+1 to GMT+2 but it automatically changes back for some reason.
Please be careful with that BB_Alpaca,Quote:

Not because I don't think you can't do it, but because I needed to help a friend who did just that ;)
It's very tricky.
But the option to select GMT+1 and set the 'automatically detect DST setting' should do the trick.
Best is to see why his setting are reset to GMT+1, maybe his timezone is GMT+1 with DST (that would make it GMT+2)
just my 2 cents :D
My time zone is EET == GMT+2 (Finland) and we still use DST (EEST) so the GMT+2 (GMT+3 with DST) is correct for me.
I hope that vBulletin isn't that stupid that it takes the location/language from my browser and makes the adjustment according to that.

I am always careful-- I have programming experience in much more difficult languages than HTML. ;) However, vBulletin is the unknown as it is not the most responsively designed forum system to exist. I will check it out, but I can't promise anything!Quote:

I checked my time zone and it was GMT+2, logged out, visited the forum and tried to see couple of player profiles, logged in and time zone was reset to GMT+1.
I tested this same on tsotesting.com and this happens there also.
Hm, that is really odd... I will investigate it further and update when I've got something.

Just read back, and saw itQuote:

Maybe you didn't notice, or read it the way it was intended -lol-
Anyway, I have all the trust in the world in you, I just know vBulletin can be very tricky :)
just needed to say that, just in case it is explained wrong. Not my intention.
About the timezone problems, I know there can some strange things happen with vBulletin.
I'll try and see if I can duplicate the timezone error.
It is possible a system setting is overruling user-settings, if server-setting is GMT+1
or the client detects the client-setting wrong, if a JavaScript is running to automatically adjust time setting.
Something to look into :)
Be safe
Edit:
set GMT+3 logout
Log in: time is now GMT+3 (automatically detect DST setting) making it GMT+4
Will try it the other way around now..
stays the same, Can't reproduce the problem....
Was thinking it did, but goofed up myself, so redid it :)
BTW: log in to forum does not work, you need to log in at tso homepage, it gives an error.
Weird.. :(
IIRC, this has always been the case. You must log in at the front page and that is by design.Quote:

So I'm not the only one who has this problem.
I've tried to repeat this by logging out but without luck. There might be some timeout time when this happens.
I found this on vBulletin forum:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...zone-in-usercp
Testing update:
I was logged out for 1h from tsotesting.com and after that my timezone changed.
OK, another thing that should be fixed:Quote:

If it is possible, I will add it to my list and do it when time presents itself. ;)Quote:
