Forum Times
 

I don't know about any others but ever since the clocks went forward the times on the forum havn't gone forward, they are still 1 hour behind, just curious if this is a forum thing or is it just my computer?

Re: Forum Times
 

What would be the Joke then?
Has the US really put their clocks forward as the rest of the world or do you think that we are joking??

(Edited back -> forward (23.08 in the evening and tired))

I hope you are joking, cause otherwise you are very very misinformed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

Well, then we are millions that are misinformed!!!
Just in Sweden more than 9 millions!

Re: Forum Times
 

Oh, yes, meant forward! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">US does this always 1 week later than the "rest of the world" (if there is any... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ).

Here's a Link.

Apparently this is the case every year. Since most of us don't know people from other countries except in the forums it's probably never come up in conversation before. Guess we'll have to file this with the other little frustrating quirks like why we have different definitions for "Billion". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And just to make things even more confusing when we do change our clocks over here only parts of the country will. (ie not is Saskatchewan and Arizona) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

I guess I'm the April Fool then! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif But I'm a wiser fool now! Thanks for furthering my education!

Should someone give me a diploma or something? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

Did your Windows automatically move your clock forward for you? Hmm, maybe if I change the regional settings in the control panel, it will move the clock at a different date?

That's how I always know when to move the clock: the computer tells me.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, Winbugs is aware of this. One of the few things that "work correctly" plus our secretary http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif always warns me to schedule conference calls with US colleagues accordingly in this week.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Fortunately, AZ doesn't participate in daylight savings time. The Last thing we need is an extra hour of daylight in the summer! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's funny. I know you are joking, but it reminds me of an older relative of mine. She didn't understand the principle of DST very well. She would complain that she couldn't adjust to losing that hour of sleep every night until the clocks got set back in the fall again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

I hate DST; it's a useless bit of idiocy IMO.

Re: Forum Times
 

it's an attempt to make your clock time match up with the day/night cycle, which is different in winter than in the summer.

Re: Forum Times
 

I am pretty sure he knows what DST is. He was probably refering to it being an unnecessary waste of time and effort, not just some random meaningless system. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

What about "Another heated discussion about DST..." ? Bad sun, never shines when I need light. I am going to send a stellar manipulator... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Times
 

um, aren't they the same thing?

Re: Forum Times
 

I think we should have "weekend saving time" every summer: You set your Calendar back in April so that you get longer weekends until the winter.

More time on the beach=-)

Re: Forum Times
 

I like Dogscoff's idea! Too bad no one in a position to implement it would ever go along with it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
