Time stamp and other user preferences
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2015 8:35 pm
The TIME STAMP on all postings is set according to the user's preferences. The DEFAULT TIME ZONE for the website is GMT-5 except during daylight savings time periods it changes to GMT-4. If you want to see all time stamps displayed in your local time, you can set your own time zone preference in your USER CONTROL PANEL.
To reach the USER CONTROL PANEL find your username at the upper right, part of the secondary banner above. Positioning the cursor on your username link and clicking the mouse button will reveal a selection menu. One of the selections will be USER CONTROL PANEL. If you can't figure out the menu, just follow this link:
ucp.php
Navigate to the user control panel. Navigate to the tab BOARD PERFERENCES. Find the entry field called MY TIMEZONE. Select your preferred timezone in the pop-up menu selection. Click the SUBMIT button to save the changes.
Once you set your own time preference, all the times on times stamps will be shown to you in your time zone preference.
