Time Difference Support Apolyton

On either side of Daylight Savings (Winter or Summer) my time has never been correct. Its either been an hour fast (i.e. 2am on NZACS = 1am NZST) or in Summer, it has been 1 hour slow (i.e. 7am on NZACS = 8am NZST)

This makes it quite confusing for me to read the time. If GMT changes for Daylight Savings, why can't any other timezone?

Because we change daylight savings during different parts of the year.

You, being in the southern hemisphere go on daylight savings, while those in the northern hemisphere go off of daylight savings.

ACK!

Yes, that is the problem. The vB engine seems to be quite poor at figuring out the changes in time...let alone account for the southern hemisphere flipping at the opposite time of year to the northern...

Put an end to popups!

Ehm, I thought GMT never changes, because it's "base time"?

Not in Summer, according to vB. That changed to BST, thus screwing up my time totally.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I just chose whatever timezone gives me the correct time. If it happens to be Vladivostok's time rather than Sydney's, so be it.

Can you not ignore Poly time, like I do? My comp has a clock on it, and it takes but a moment to figure out what time that post was REALLY posted at.

This is a case not so much of the number 8 wire Kiwi solution as the "I'm too lazy to ask for help so I'll do this instead" Kiwi solution.
