Phorum How-To #7: How Can I Change My Time Zone?

[Ron Ramirez]

First, go to your User CP.



Now, click Edit Options under Your Profile.



Under "Date and Time Options," look for the text which reads "If you live in a time zone which differs to what this board is set at, you can select it from the list below."

The default time setting for the Phorum is GMT.

To change it to your local time zone:

Click the drop-down box labeled "GMT" with a time setting, as shown below:



From this drop-down box, select the time zone where you live.

Hint: GMT-5 = Eastern Time Zone.
GMT-6 = Central Time Zone.
GMT-7 = Mountain Time Zone.
GMT-8 = Pacific Time Zone.

For Phorum members living outside the USA, you should be able to figure out the proper settings here.

Other Time Settings

While you are here, you can also change a few other settings if you wish to do so.



If the date format is not to your liking, click the drop-down box and change it from the system default to whatever you wish.
