Time forum off-set not responding...

[Lisandro]

When I've tried to set my time forum to <auto detect>, the answer was Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator. I'm doing so 

Kubecj?

I set mine up using the off-set (+1 on GMT) rather than auto detect (I also thought there was an auto check the adjust for daylight saving time), and that worked fine.

But I just set it to 0 and changed the profile and it dropped the time back by one hour, I then clicked (auto detect) and it correctly set it to 1 and set the forum time to match local time. No errors.

When I click auto detect, I got a NaN info in the value box, then I can't save.
I'll try another browser...

[Lisandro]

Nope... database error...
Iron browser does not work... does not seem to be a script problem but a webpage internal one.

Don't know. The easiest workaround is to set the correct offset manually. NaN is not-a-number and db probably does not like it. (Because I'm always lost on these offsets, I consult www.greenwichmeantime.com)

Another glitch of the forum software... it s**ks...

Not for me, it is working fine, what have you done to break it

[Lisandro]

It's not working for anybody... it's buggy.
I can't defend avast or the webforum software in all situations like you.

[DavidR]

I don't defend avast in all situation as you say.

I'm reporting it how I find it and it 'is' working for me as my image clearly shows.

[Lisandro]

No, you're not using auto detect. You're using -1 hour.
My posts are related to auto detect that does not work. The thread is about it.
Auto detect is auto detect, you know, automatic detection of the off-set, not manual, not fixed.

See:

Don't know.

Acknowledgment of the problem.

The easiest workaround

Not solution.
The forum software is buggy, it does not do what it is supposed to do. I have tons of examples...
Back button does not work as back button, for instance (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=39544.0).

Read my post, I did try that, I first set it to 0 to set it to no off-set and clicked change profile.

I then clicked the auto detect and it (auto detect) inserted 1 into the window and when I clicked the change profile, it adjusted the time so it matched local time, so 'yes' it did work on auto detect for me.

I've read that... just that you've also posted:

It's not working fine...

The last time they upgraded the software here, I found I'd been reset to GMT, which I guess is default (I'm in US/Canada Eastern time, GMT -5).  But clicking on auto-detect worked fine for me, and there's been I've had no problems since.

And that is correct, it isn't a problem for me, it is a problem for you, but that doesn't mean it is a problem for every one as you stated (below), and it is also working for MikeBCda, so I don't know why it isn't working for you.

I don't know why it isn't working for you.

I see...
