Calendar dates problem

[nblug]

Forum URL: nblug.proboards.com

Hello,
I have seen several reports about the problem that occurs when you add a calendar event to a post, and the dates on the calendar do not correspond to the dates of the event.

I have an example that may help, as I understand that you have not been able to recreate the problem.

On the nblug board, the calendar is showing an event called the Yorkshire Brick Show as 29th and 30th April 2017.  However, if you click on this calendar entry, it takes you to the Yorkshire Brick Show thread and clicking 'edit event' brings up the correct dates for the show, 30th April and 1st May 2017.  So the event has been set up with the correct dates, it's the calendar display that's wrong.

We are based in the UK and our time zone is set to GMT, so that's set OK for us.

I hope this helps you in tracking down the problem.  Any updates I can give my forum members would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim.

Hi, nblug.

That's usually been the case for most forums that exhibited the problem, but unfortunately we haven't been able to track down the exact cause of it even with a live example of it not working.

I haven't tested it yet, but this post may contain information that can be of use to you: support.proboards.com/post/6785557

Thanks Brian. On this example, the user created the thread and event, then I deleted the event, waited 24 hours, and edited the thread to add an event. Same result, a one-day offset. I'll pass on the idea about not adding the event at first though, thanks.
Jim.

Hi

This has been brought up a few times, and it has not been determined what is causing it, yet, as the dev team can never duplicate the issue. Lynx posted a workaround which may help you fix it, and it is also advised to check the time zone you have set in your forum settings.
