Re: Time Zone Issue for Events


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Christine,

I've been to Account>Preferences and the Time Zone is UTC (Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon London), and each of the calendar events I've created has the same time zone.

Hmm... That's puzzling.

I've verified that the the Feed page displays according to the account's Time Zone setting (and isn't simply defaulting to, say, U.S. Pacific, because that's where Groups.io is):

vs

The screenshot on the left is an account in U.S. Pacific time, the screenshot on the right is in U.S. Eastern time. They have the expected three hour difference in the events. And just to complete the test, neither of those are the same as the timezone set in the event itself, yet all the correct adjustments were made:




Is there somewhere else I should be finding another time zone setting that I'm missing?

Not that I know of.

In my example the Hashtag event is at 2:05 am Central, which would be 0805 UTC. Each of the viewing members see a local time that also corresponds to 0805 UTC.

So that leaves me baffled how you can be seeing an offset of 8 hours if both the event and the viewing member have the same timezone setting. It is possible that there's a bug of some kind in the system, or that there's something we're missing. I don't know if it is something awry in your description or in my understanding.

One suspicious thing is that your time zone is currently UTC+0000 (and will be until summer time takes effect, if it does in your locale). Maybe that's somehow...

?vs

Nope. Even setting the account timezone of the login I'm using to view the feed to your timezone gets me the correct absolute time.
