Hi Jennie,

I was able to get my time zone changed in my profile, but it's not showing on the board, it's still showing up with the board's time zone.   I re-checked and it's saved in my settings, but not showing up on the main board.

Also, do we have time stamps for the individual posts?  I don't see it, but maybe I am missing it.

Thanks,

Carol

Carol, are you looking to the far left at the bottom of the forum? It says "Your Timezone." The board's timezone is at the far right.

No timestamps on postings, so I'm asking tech support if that's something we can add. But that feature won't matter much if everyone doesn't take the time to set her timezone in her profile. The default is UTC-5.

We'll get it all worked out in the end!

Cheers,
Jennie

I was just going to ask if individuals had to set their time zones in order to make it work all over the board.  That's crazy!  I just posted and on the front page, it logged it correctly as 2 minutes ago.  It was not doing that yesterday, after I posted and had changed my time zone.  Perhaps when you made that change today, to put it to Africa/Nairobi time, it set things better?!  

There has to be a feature to allow the individual member to read all postings in her own time zone, if not, there is no point to having a time zone option in the first place.   When one is logged into their account, they should be able to see all postings in their time zone, no matter if people have their own time zones set for another time zone or to the default of the board.  

Looking forward to this one getting worked out so I know heads from tails.

Yippee!  Dawn, it's working for me, so hopefully it's working for you, too.

Now, if we can get the time stamped on post, we are heading in the right direction.

Thanks, Dawn!

Okay, I feel pretty stupid, but the timestamps are right above your avatar, ladies! My previous reply is dated November 21, 2012 and stamped 11:05 am. So that feature is already here. If someone hasn't correctly set her timezone, the board will just date it from UTC time (plus or minus, depending on where she is). Not as easy to figure out, but not impossible.

Does that help?

Cheers,

Jennie

Me too, Jennie!  I was sure I looked there, unless of course, that also changed when the other 'setting' took place.  Regardless, I am happy it is there.  And, for the record, you show up for me as actually posting at 1:05 a.m., not at 11:05 a.m which means you must be 10 hours ahead of me.  Love it!

Thank you again,

Carol

The only time stamp I see not matching my time is in the message system (what do we call the private message system in this software?).  It is not coming up my own, when reading my private messages.  I can't say which time zone as it's way off for me and I didn't stop to calculate if it was African/Nairobi.  I know the ones I sent did not match my time zone and the ones I received, I hadn't a clue as they were on very different time zones than mine. 

Everything else, so far, is looking much better.  YIPPEE!!!!

Carol

Hi Jennie,

I had the opportunity to check the private message system time stamp, and it is displaying African/Nairobi for me. 

Hope that helps…..

Carol

Jennie, not to sound negative, but when is the next software update?  Software updates, well they make me nervous.  Is that going to be an ongoing, regular thing, quarterly, or what?  Just wondering how often things might be changing!

Thanks,

Carol
