Question on time

#1 Post by sunflower » Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:04 am

Is there any way to change the time that I see on the bored? After daylight savings time, it's now 2 hours behind my time (it says 9:02 am when it's 11:02 here). It's not a huge deal, but if I can easily change it I will.

Okay apparently the 2 hours is when I'm NOT logged in. When I logged in, it went to being only an hour behind.

Go to user control and then bored preferences.

It lets you pick your time zone.

The default time (Which would show when you are logged out) seems to be Central Standard Time. Never had to adjust the time on any of the MM's I created the last 4 months.....

There's also a radio button setting to select DST.

LOL - you say that like I would know what that means.

Radio button? AM or FM?

That's a standard name for that type of window control, which works like an old-fashioned car radio button, i.e., selecting one button automatically turns off the others on the list.

That's different from a check box list, where you can select one or more boxes at the same time.

Thanks for the education!

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

The question may be on time, but it looks like the answer is late! :mrgreen:
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.
