I searched for some updates on the time zone issue and I was just wondering if there had been a solution. My time zone is still one hour off. I searched a previous post from here and wanted to see if anything had happened. Thanks so much

The time zones were updates a few weeks back. What time zone are you in?

I've seen this problem too, and have it now.

I'm in the UK. In order to get the correct time displayed I have to set GMT+0 in my profile, but the correct zone for the UK at this time of year is GMT+1 (also known as BST -- British Summer Time).

Does that help indicate the cause of the problem?

I am in the Eastern Time Zone... and, after a little research, realized that during daylight saving time I have to switch from -5 to -4... it does not automatically do it for me... Correct? Thanks so much.

Western Australia GMT +800 is also incorrect and im being forced to use +700 to get the correct time.

Grrr... i made the switch and am still getting the wrong time zone.... Do you happen to know what I should set it at?

Here is where I am getting my info for Michigan www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=77
I have my setting set to GMT -4. and I am an hour ahead of the actual time.

I apologize - I did not remember the etiquette. I was not sure why this is "bad". Sorry.

If you are using windows, goto your time propertys (double click the clock) then goto the timezone

You will see the option selected for the UK is GMT+0

Its just what people do. The descriptuion still says "UK etc", so from that standpoint it is correct

Thanks, Martyn.

So it's wrong, but an interesting reflection of who's in charge. No surprise that Microsoft gets it wrong, of course, but I'd really expect better from others. The timezone in Britain now is GMT+1. Period.

You will be assimilated.

In addition, because a large part of the world does not change their times, and that differnt parts of the world change time at differnt times of the year, come the next time change, the servers may not change, it may be a requirement for users to change their own timezone at the time when they would locally (just like you would your own clocks)
