I live in +8 GMT, and would need to set my server time to +13, but i can't, and Exeat and Jessticular would need to set theirs even further forwards. Could you alter the time change thingy so we can set our time properly?

You can only get +12 away from one timezone, +13 is equal to -1.

Eh? No it's not... If I put my time as -3 ( I need to be +15 I think it was ), then that puts me a day backward, which would confuse the fusticles out of me!

Damn non-standard time... thingy!

The forums time is centered on next to the best time zone in the world central US time (eastern being the best ). We can't help it if the rest of the world is wrong

IIRC the forum is hosted on their own server (unless this server change changed that). If so then Rich could just change server time to be equal to GMT, then you could all do GMT -12 to +12.

The server is now in Texas IIRC (It was one of them damned midwestern states). Was in France before that. So a bit of a change.

All time zones are supposed to be based off of GMT. If it is based out of texas, there need to be values -6 through +18, rather than -12 to +12.
