I'm a new user, I appologize if this is an obviously answered question.

Is there a way to adjust the time zone in S9Y? The time on the server I am hosted on is a number of hours earlier than the time I am in (GMT-5), and thus my posts, by default are tagged with a different time than when I post them.

I know I can change that by hand, but I'd rather not have to do it each time. Any ideas?

Hi Zai!

The time functions of PHP depend from the setting on the webserver, we currently have no wrapper function to add/subtract timezones from it. So you'd have to tell the server admin to adjust it for you or found some developer who may want to introduce a patch for such a wrapper function?

Ahh, okay. I don't think changing the server's time is something that the hosting company would be willing to do, but I'll check into it. I appreciate the advice, and the quick response!

Just to let you know: I have just finished implementing Timezone support into the current 0.8 CVS development version! You can now specify an offset to add/subtract from all date-relevant input.
