    Hi

    I am trying to alter the default value for time zone, but no matter what i do it always defaults to "(UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana"

    I want to change the default value to "(UTC  00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London"

    I have viewed the source on the registration page and found the markup for the list to be:

    . . .

    <option value="0">
           (UTC  00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London   
    </option>

    . . .

    I have entered in the "Default Value" of the "Edit Profile Property Definition" page:

    (UTC  00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

    But this made no difference!

    I even tried the "Option Value" ie 0

    Please Help

    David Stacey.

    Hello,

    To set the default timezone:

    Login as admin
    Go to the admin menu / site settings
    Advanced settings / Other settings
    There you will see 'Portal Time Zone'
    Select your time zone and click on Update

    Thanks,

    I've done this and it still seems to be giving me a PST time stamp on my forum postings. I have all clocks set to EST (+3 from PST) I've set my host clock, the clock in the forum, and the time zone of the users--still getting the PST time stamp. Am I missing something?

    Look in the database to see the "real" time stamp attached to the messages. And, check your logged in user's time zone (in the user's profile).
