A user can define the offset time between their timezone and the server time, which I'm guessing is usually UTC time. So if I am in Chicago, and UTC time is 2am, it is 8pm on the day before the server time. So I would enter -10 for the offset hours? Because when I do that, it adds 10 to the server time and comes up with 12pm... how do I enter a negative offset? Title Comments I must not understand what I am supposed to enter here.

All it's doing is taking x number of hours and showing you the difference. The idea is that there are literally dozens of ways to setup PHP and time-management. Allowing you to control the 'hour offset' is simple approach that works regardless of how the server is setup ;-) Comments Yup, just a matter of doing the math.

I was convinced that when I tried a positive number, the time went forward and the day advanced, when it should not have. Okay, let me feel suspicious for just a couple more minutes... has this always worked or did it get corrected between when I made the post and when I applied the update from BT server 2.1.3 to 2.1.5 ? Because I did that yesterday, too, just in time for you to announce 2.1.6 is available, of course. Comments Duh.

Been grinding out the over the air stuff. You can think that though, totally OK ;-) Comments Suspicious - too funny. For sure no profile settings were changed.
