The date is wrong... how to fix?
« on: December 04, 2013, 02:43:20 AM »
It says it's the 4th but today is the 5th. In NZ it is anyhow. I can't fix it by adjusting the time because that would put me 28 hours ahead which is "out of range". And why does the time keep changing on me anyhow? I've had to adjust it several times because it keeps showing random incorrect times.

Its set to LA time. Put it to GMT + 12 and that's the correct time. :)

Where can I set it to GMT+12? May I have a link, please? All I can find is where to enter the time offset. It does not work there. Are you talking about this or something else? I would really like to have the correct date displayed.

Click "profile" at the top then you will see a menu called "modify profile" - select the "look & layout" option. In there you will find a time/date option. You can either let the Arena auto detect for you or off set the clock by 12 hours. Just type 12 in the box and apply.

that doesn't work for us down here :( the closest i can get is 3 hours behind by using +23. i'd need to be able to put in +26 to get the time and date correct :) no matter much to me, i don't really pay attention to the date, just the time :lol: i keep it 24 hours behind cause then the time is right :D

Thanks for your reply, however, as I tried to explain in my earlier posts, this does not work.  Allowing the Arena to auto detect the time puts me four hours ahead, which is the correct time, but a day earlier.  Manually entering the correct time (which is 28 hours ahead) yields an error, as 28 hours is "out of range".

Ahhh...I get you now :)

You need an extra 2 hours to get to your actual time? It will be saying not allowed as you should never need to be 28 hours ahead; because the clock has a +/- hour option and you can swing 24 hours in either direction you should never need to be more than +13 hours or -13 hours...yes?

It sounds like the Arena time is set wrong. As I am posting this the Arena is claiming its source time is "09 December 2013, 07:11:13" but right now at 22:13 GMT on 9th December no where in the world is 15 hours behind.

Ahh OK, thanks.  :)  My next question is... will this be fixed so Australian and New Zealand members can have the correct time displayed?

I'll go look at the clock.

EDIT: As far as I can tell, the server's time is set to Los Angeles time. (Seriously, spell check? You think Los Angeles is a typo?)

I don't know what can be done with maybe the exception of setting its time to Zulu and seeing if that helps. Of course, everyone would have to reset their clocks again. ^^;
