Time zones are wrong!

[holdum333]

Hi my time zone is wrong! Oklahoma (Central)!!

 

[holdum333]

The times are all screwed up. Site is showing 6AM. It's 12AM. In Oklahoma!

Hi I'm not a stranger on help forums! The time is off by 6 hours!:smile:

 

[RumoredNow]

Go to Settings > General Settings





Scroll down to Date & Time Options and Right Click the link to Update your time zone in your Passport Profile... Open in a new tab...





In Passport, scroll down to the Time Zone settings, change the Time Zone to anything else, click Save Changes





Back on the General Settings tab, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Save Changes





Go back to Passport, change the Time Zone to the correct one, Save Changes.

Return to General Settings, Save Changes.


This happens from time to time (no pun intended) and for me it seems to happen when clearing cookies and cache in my browser. It is an annoyance, but easily overcome.

Hi Friend been there and done that!:smile: Will check it again! Thanks for your reply!
Is this not right? It's 9:09 AM in Oklahoma. Showing 3:06 PM here on the forum!

My forum time is correct for Central US.

That is the fix I apply whenever it gets borked...

Hi friend! I don't know what else I can do. I've tried to change it several times.

Hi @Rumored! The 4th time changing the settings finally worked. Thanks for your reply. This time I changed it to a different zone and saved it. Then I went back to Central and saved it. All is well in Okie land now and I'm a happy camper! Have no clue why it messed up, or how I got it working again.
You are appreciated!

Does the issue persist for anyone out there? All good on my side...

 

[Laura Knotek]

I never had a problem with the time zone.

 

[holdum333]

All is good in Okie land. I have no idea how the time zone got off, or how long it was wrong. I doubt if it was off for very long. I stay on top of things like that. I watch the time in Stream so I can tell when my friend from India will log on. 11:30 hours difference. PM here. AM there!:grin:
All is good now. Are we still having fun!:wink: almost 6:00 AM in India!:wink: Almost 6:30 PM in Oklahoma!
I think I got that right LMAO!

 

[James Falconer]

Ok great to here. Still good on my side too

I've done exactly as you described and I'm getting the wrong time here on the US east coast (it reads 6am despite being 1am).

Something is wrong with the forum software I'm betting. This is the one and only forum I've used where this has been an issue. On all others changing/setting time zone and saving works every time.

Hi friend ! Did you try my suggestion in Post #8?? You will have to click on Passport Profile. Then you will have to click save and then save again.
I know it's APITA. That's how I had to do it. Nothing is easy here on Windows Central! LMAO! You have to save the setting twice. If you need more help, let me know!

 

[holdum333]

Hi you all! I don't mean to be hard on Windows Central. I only want to help here and make a good hand . James is doing a good job. I'm sure he will work with you if your just patient . Post your beef here and give James a little time to fix your gripe. He has worked with me and that ain't easy.:wink:
Thanks James! You are appreciated!

Yes, as I said that's what I tried, about four-five times, and it's still off.

This post for example reads "05:22 PM" when in fact it is 12:22 PM here on the east coast.

Hi friend! After you click on Passport and choose your time zone, you have to save it. Wait a few seconds and you'll get another window. You have to save it there also.
You have to save your setting twice. Why?? I have no clue! Give this a try and let me know!

 

[mattiasnyc]

That's exactly what I did.

 

[holdum333]

IDK! Try choosing another time zone and see it the time changes. If it does then go back to the East Coast time zone. I'm thinking there is a bug in the option.
It took me several times to get it to show Central. Maybe staff will have a comment??
