[preface: I’m just a simple WordPress support moderator, which uses bbPress]

It is very (very) conceivable this may be a dumb user question… but I’ll ask anyways.

Is there a way to get post dates in the support forums (or any bbPress forum) to show the time in my time zone?

Editing my user profile and poking around, I don’t see an option to set my proper time offset (I’m GMT – 7).

I know it’s not a huge deal, but it’d be keen to see!

In your config file you’ll see this:

$bb->gmt_offset = -4;

Just set the value to your own timezone. Mine is -8 for PST.

Handy, there is no way to do this in bbPress core. A plugin could accomplish this, but I do not think the core will support it.

(M, I believe HandySolo is asking about user-specific time zone settings.)

Ah, I can see now I misread the question, you could erase my post so it doesn’t confuse anyone.

User-specific time settings would be nice. Another site which I may switch to bbPress would probably prefer to have that feature.

Thanks mdawaffe.

At least now I know I’m not missing an obvious user preference setting somewhere, which was my fear.
