You may have noticed that phpBB isn't very smart about DST, and as a result post times are an hour off. To fix this, go into your <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/profile.php?mode=editprofile">preferences</a>, and set your clock one hour forward. For example, I'm usually GMT-5 in New York, but now I'm GMT-4. Apologies for the inconvenience.

That's funny. I remember having this issue a while back, where everything was one hour off. It must have been DST. :lol:

You guys at Thoughts have modded phpBB more than I've ever seen it. Maybe someone can figure out how to automatically set DST settings. I can't imagine there's no php function for converting to DST or something. Maybe check it out.

I think Thoughts Media's superduper-PHPer should be able to tweak in that into PPCT's PhpBB and TM forums... :wink: (I haven't tried it yet, cause I can't stand getting PHP-headaches! :roll: )

The thing is that Fabrizio avoids others' phpBB mods -- the code is complex enough as it is. ;) Hopefully, the long-awaited phpBB 2.2 will be here soon...
