You will need to set the forum offset time in your profile, if you want to get the correct date/time displayed.
After logging in, go to Settings (in the top set of actions, or click here http://www.coloradoavclub.com/forum/member_control_panel.asp - http://www.coloradoavclub.com/forum/member_control_panel.asp ) then click Edit Profile.
Near the bottom, change the "Time offset from forum time" setting to - 8 (that is minus 8) hours and you will be set!
You might want to change the "Date Format" setting to Month/Day/Year, as well.

Um, forget that...I found a way to set the default, from an admin perspective, to be Mountain Time.
I'm just working on my post count.

I set the time according to these recomendations and at 8:00am the site is telling me that it is 6:00pm. ?????
I'm going to play with it tonight and see if I can find out what our time is. I'll keep you posted unless this is how the site is formatted to work properly. Since you guys set it up, maybe you know something that I don't.  ------------- Just Drive Man!!! |

Hmmm...I must have choked on the master setup. Cuz I had to go in and change the time offset of myself now, (minus 6 hours) too. D'oh!
If it's not toomuch of a hassle for you guys that already have it set up, I'd like to change it from a master persepctive again. That way, normal users won't have to change it themselves.
I wonder if maybe the ISP changed servers and timezones or something...
Lemme know if it won't both you and I will dink with that setting again.
Thanks,

Thanks,
-Joe GO FOR IT! I'm sure its easier for everyone if you set the master setup to MST. We can easily set our settings back to zero.
