How does the adjust to DST option work?

[tst]

I set my forum time to GMT+2 (Athens, Cairo), but in Israel the DST period just ended and now the forum time is an hour early.

Is the Automatically Adjust Times for Daylight Savings checkbox only relevant in the countries which are selected from the list (Greece and Egypt in this case)? How does the forum choose when DST is over?

Hi tst,

Great question!  I have no idea.  I hope that it doesn't use the same date for everyone that we have in the US.  I will ask Lithium.

Thanks,
Laura

yea, you will have this problem for another month or so 🙂 hang in there!

I already "fixed" this as soon as I noticed the change by unchecking this option, which is probably what I did in previous years as well.

I don't mind playing around with settings a couple of times a year, but it would be nicer if it was done automatically. Microsoft, for instance, saves this data somewhere and the switch was done automatically when the OS clock was synchronized.

EDIT:  invalid question..  answer was in your last post...

I checked into this, and it looks to be addressed in a future version.  I'm still not sure when we'll upgrade to that version, but I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
Laura
