Eetaachee Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 The forum follows which time zone? I follow IST. The forum time confuses me everytime. How to change it? P.S.- I don't know how to access user control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desumi Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Pretty sure the forums follow the MM/DD/YY as showcased in the image above while hovering over a timestamp. As for the time/timezone? It should follow whatever is local time set on your PC/Device as far as the Invision Community forum platform handles dates/timestamps, unless PRO has customized it differently which I don't think they have? And you can't change it, as its not a profile setting, not that I can find.

I started an auction 2 days ago definitely after 12pm IST (don't remember exact time) but on the auction it shows 7:48 am. So I am not sure what time it was. It is a bit hectic to remember everytime at what exact time I start an auction or an auction of mine gets started. So it would have been better if I could know the timezone or at least change the timezone set for my account if that's feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps, I know that PRO tends to follow GMT+0 timezone for any events or schedueled maintenance/backups for any in-game activity, don't know if this relates to how they do on the forums. But, as I am based in GMT+2 (summertime) and the forum dates are actually displayed and also converted into the correct timestamp, I find it hard to believe that its not based on the local system format on the device used while viewing the forums.

What time is the "Start" showing for you? I have attached my screenshot for further reference. https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/196996-sell-hp-grass-max-speed-electrike/#comment-1124154 Edited June 3, 2022 by Eetaachee Attached link and screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both on PC and on my phone it says at 09:41 AM, which is the correct timestamp following my set local time being GMT+2. I'll send a quick SS to confirm this. I am just speculating with this, but it could be that the forums can't properly convert it to your local time in IST, and perhaps is just showing GMT+0 as a default value, not that I can confirm or prove this fact.

I believe what you are saying is correct. Because you said they follow your local time which is GMT +2. The start on that auction is showing 7:41 am in my case and 9:41 am which is exactly 2 hrs difference. Hence GMT+0 has been set for me. My local time is GMT +5.30. I wish I could change it to IST.

Hmm I see. Perhaps @Shinohara can elaborate a bit more on this as they are more familiar with the innerworkings of the forums. 1 ★ Contributor ★ "In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different" Forum post | Bulba - Discord Bot | Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it's happening to me, I think it's the same for them. This little change can smoothen the experience for many players I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
