Customizing forum look & layout

[Scaredgirl]

This was requested in chat so here it goes:

You can use the above link to customize your forum look & layout. I recommend you set the "Time Offset" to match your own time zone. There's and "auto" button that does the job. Forum currently uses GMT 0 timezone.

There are also some other options you can tweak if you want, like getting rid of signatures, etc.

Does the time zone detection thing detect Daylight Saving Time? We're having that right now in Canada.

No it doesn't you have to change it manually and I thought you were in China?

The map shows him at default location also aren't those theme changes the same or are we expecting some new ones to be added?

No, I do not live in China. Otherwise, I would be all but English-illiterate. I moved to Vancouver, Canada about four years ago, but that's just where my human avatar lives; my true address is Infernus, or Hell. That's why it's not on the map

Hm, to me the forum is actually displaying the correct time right now. Maybe I've got it all mixed up in my head, and we're actually NOT having Daylight Saving Time right now? ???

Your signature i guess?

[Bloodshadow]

Geez, stop trying to translate my signature... It's too gruesome to watch...

Forum currently uses GMT 0 timezone.

Nope, it's GMT +1 at the moment. GMT/UTC doesn't change for DST, it's our offsets that change.
Keeping the forum time at ±0 makes sense, as when (if) DST changes differs around the world.

Also, countdowns use forum time as base, so keeping it at GMT±0 would be better.

It does, but only when you manually use it to check.

I had it at London time which (because of daylight savings) is GMT +1 at the moment.

I switched it to UTC.

The people who had correct forum time before, can fix it by increasing the time offset by 1.

[Bloodshadow]

Hmm... Lemme see, is the time correct for me right now?

Ah, clicking auto-detect again worked.
