Post Time one hour out

I'm doing well with dumb questions today...

Why is the post time one hour out?
I can;t find any control for it - and a forum search has shown no similar posts regarding this...

:o(

In the time stamp on any post - the time is an hour out.
I've checked with my hosting provider and they say it isn't them...

???

I think it could be changed by modifying inside setup_options.php this line:

//$timeDiff=21600;

Remove // at the beginning and set some value instead of 21600 so you should see how things change... :-) According to the official manual, having 21600 means +6 hours, so 10800 should be +3 and 5400 is +1.5 etc.

Where is the time taken from in the first place?
Is it the server where Minibb is being hosted, or somewhere else?
If the host server I would assume the time to be correct as my server is in the UK, the same as me?
But, I'll have a play with that configuration...

Thanks for the info - I missed that in the manual!

I thought I'd remove the time and just have the day, but I can't seem to work-out the use of: $dateFormat = $dateOnlyFormat.' '.$timeOnlyFormat; or $dateFormat = 'j F Y H:i:s';

The manual instructions are a tad confusing...

I have managed to remove the time from the forum posts, but I get a comma left after the day.
As always, any help appreciated... I am slowly making progress with understanding PHP

;o)

Ok, I suppose you mean your forum with this, not ours :)

Steve Shaw:

It's taken from mySQL database. Each post has time stamp assigned and saved.
In turn, when being saved into database, this time is taken directly from the server's system.
You must be what kind of original time your server runs.

You can check the original time on your hosting server with a simple script:

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
?>

Not at all. The server could have any time set up - depending on what customers it keeps.

Possibly it comes for posts, which were posted 'Today' or 'Yesterday'. In that case, the script adds comma after one of these words. You may try to modify convert_date() function of bb_functions.php to remove it (OR you may just try to delete or disable $l_today var from the language pack - then the script will bypass today/yesterday statements).

[Edit: deleted my original reply to the OP, as Paul has given an official reply--and a lot more helpful one than mine!
@Paul: No one had replied to the OP when I arrived earlier. I must have been still busy typing when you posted your reply--you fast typist! :)]
