Anyone? Setting User CP for daylight time?

The times my screen shows for posts are an hour behind. How can I tell vbulletin it's Daylight Saving Time? I set an option in User CP to "automatic adjustment" or something like that, but it didn't do the trick.

hmmm--I dunno, reph. Mine updated automatically. I'll go poke around in the controls and see if I can find an answer for you, though.

You've got your user control set to Pacific time?

right beneath the timezone setting, in your control panel, under Options-- there is a little box where you tell it "automatically detect DST"

Is that what you enabled? And it isn't working?

Result of test

My "test" post says 12:11. It should say 1:11.

In CP, time is set to Pacific. I set the DST option to "Automatically" on Sunday and punched "Save changes." When I looked just now, it had reverted to something else (meaning never do DST; don't remember exact wording). I reset it to "Automatically" and did "Save changes" again. Then I made the test post. It came out wrong.

About bedtime anyway. Maybe someone will have an answer by tomorrow.

Fixed it

I changed the setting to "DST corrections always on." Now the board shows correct times. So, anyone out there with the same problem, try that.
