I guess if you have the server 10 timezones away from most of your users. Either way, just having one time in the config.php and then the Timezone plugin will help 'all' your users around the world!

I'm even using the same setup you're using. (bb .80 and wp integration). As for the GMT, I guess I was just expecting the correct time to be calculated on the memberlist page as well, since it's implemented everywhere else. Isn't that what makes the most sense? Maybe I'm missing something. </p> <p>My problem is minor, and only arises (so far) when I'm using shell to scan through my server logs, and the time on the logs is adjusted for my timezone but the time on the memberlist page doesn't match up. Just gotta do math, which is less favorable in my case. ;) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration-time-8-hours-gmt#post-5150 Mon, 05 Mar 2007 08:05:58 +0000 chrishajer 5150@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I haven't looked at the code, but my guess is that since the dates are stored in the DB as GMT, and the time functions display times as "time elapsed since" that this is expected. Where are you seeing the actual times displayed? </p> <p>I just registered a new user. I get "Member since: March 5, 2007 (7 minutes)" and "user [profile] registered 7 minutes ago" in the profile page and the admin page respectively. The memberlist plugin shows the time as the time on the server: 03/05/07 at 02:52:44 AM (when it was actually 1:52 AM where I am.) In the database, it's stored as 2007-03-05 07:52:44</p> <p>Where are you seeing the GMT and what functions does it affect?</p> <p>Also, I am using .80 with WP integration (for users anyway) and not using any plugins for the user timezone or anything like that.
