Time Zone in message RSS Feed

Forum URL: cbabaseball.boards.net

I use the RSS feed of my forum and embed it with PHP on my webpage a quick "recent discussions" type of sidebar.  There seems to be a discrepancy with the time zones reported in the rss feed and it seems to be coming right at the source of the proboards forum.

For example this is a recent entry on the RSS feed and the actual time set in EST (as I have set in the forum settings), and as it also appears in the Description line (which I think is GMT?) :

How can I fix this?

Hi

That looks about right. The offset i mean. Are you asking if it can display the EST instead? That, i am not sure you can change, and believe it will have to be something changed on the forum code side. For that reason, i will mark this as a feature request to see what the staff think about setting that time to the time you have in your settings.

Thanks for the quick reply.. Yes, that's what I meant. I was looking for a way to change that time displayed to EST?

If you're using an RSS reader you've found online, it may have an option to automatically change it to your time. I'm not sure about being able to change it on our end though. A dev should see this thread now that it's labeled and they'll be able to confirm it.

It`s a bit different. the output from the proboards end sends both a date and time of the post:

And then also outputs the content which is right from proboards:

The first time/date output is modified properly with my set time zone....

The second content output is not.. I have also used the RSS feed widgets found on the internet and they do not help.  They also supply the content output as is.. I'm not advanced with this, but I understand that content would not be editable on the other end..

I suppose there currently is no solution for this?

Hi rob6239,

Not at this time. But you can keep an eye out on the developer blog as future additions and fixes will be remarked there
