time difference problem

i have this odd problem.
my server time and forum time difference is +9 hours. the server time is fixed to + 9 hours to match the users and everything works fine.
every time after server reinstalation forum time is -9 hours. i contacted the provider and they fixed that.
few days ago the provider moved users to another server. the time was -9 hours again. i contacted provider again but they said that the time was fixed.
i installed another miniBB script to check the time and time was o.k. (+9 hours) but on my forum is still -9

i dont wanna use $timeDiff because that effects the older posts too.

i think the problem is in sql database but i don't know where to look for problem and even less how to fix it.
maybe i'm wrong...

any idea?

thank you

Sorry the question was not clear enough for me...

$timeDiff setting only adjusts the time saved in database, on the fly. But the time saved in database depends on the server itself (i.e. it's the server's time). So whatever time is saved it is up to your server. If it already differs from your local time, most probably you don't need to use this setting. However if the database was moved from one server to another, and the time was different on the previous server, there is no way except that you will need to run some special mySQL command to update all times with the specified range...

well i think that i have to do that.
will this command affect database itself? i don't know much about mysql and i'm afraid to mess things up.

It's a difficult command and I am afraid I am not able to provide the correct one here (it is really up to your posting IDs and other things). So if you are not familiar with mySQL, it's better to hire someone who could solve this task for you.

Additionally I don't think timing is a big problem for forums overall... I personally never pay attention at WHEN the posting was made - but its content matters more...
