Calendar time problem


 

I created a recurrent event - our club meeting.
I enter the start time ... 7 pm.
I save the event.
I look at the calendar.
It says it starts at 8 pm.? ??????
so I had to start it at 6pm so that on the calendar it will say 7pm.
advice? info? contempt for newbie?

No contempt! But a query. You can change your time zone in Account - upper right corner of the your home page.
Perhaps that is the issue? The default is Pacific time.

As Frances said, you have your own account time zone, The calendar also has it's own time zone - look at the lower right of the calendar page.? If you set it for the correct calendar zone and the correct time, it will change (correctly) for those, if any, in another zone.

Hi Frances,

I¡¯m a Group Owner here on since November with a 2018 Mac mini running Mojave and Firefox browser. ?Read what you said¡­decided to check what I had done with my group.?

Presumed your ¡°home page¡± reference to be ¡°Group Home Page¡±. ?Only thing in upper right corner (of ALL pages) is MY Account. ?Only options THERE are MY email address, password, social logins, group email addresses and MY subscription. ?Nothing whatsoever about ¡°setting¡± time.?

My ¡°Group Home Page¡± contains our group picture and description, some Group Information and Group Settings and Message History statistics. ?Nothing whatsoever about ¡°setting¡± time.?

If I go to ¡°Admin/Settings/Default Sub Setting", 4th option down is to set the ¡°Timezone¡±.

Why so much difference between what you described and what I saw/experienced?

Best!

WRB

In the upper right side (my account), Preferences - there is time zone. Sorry, I guess I wasn't precise enough in my language..

Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies.
The event has a time zone on the event setup, so I never looked at the calendar time zone.
Yes, there was no contempt but most certainly a "duh" on my part ...
Thanks again!

Click on "Preferences" to find:

Web Site Preferences

Then click on " Update Preferences"


My ¡°Group Home Page¡± contains our group picture and description, some Group Information and Group Settings and Message History statistics. Nothing whatsoever about ¡°setting¡± time.

If I go to ¡°Admin/Settings/Default Sub Setting", 4th option down is to set the ¡°Timezone¡±.
This sets the defaults for future members
