Website Update

Jonathan,

 
There is something strange with the forum time.  It looks like you are in the Moscow time zone?

 

EDIT:  It seems that the problem exists that badly for me only when I am logged in. After logout the time (of a sent post) is like in Sweden. Is it somehow connected to Johan's promotion to Rear Admiral?

Sorry for delayed answer…

 

The “official” forum time is usually without any importance. I hadn’t earlier even paid any attention to how it works. Then, one evening, I recognized that a message I wrote a few minutes ago was written “yesterday”. Now I think I understand how the system works:

 1. When logged out, all the times seen are shown as GMT+1 (Central European Time).

2. When logged in, all the times seen are modified using the personal value you have given in Forum Preferences/Time offset when you registered first time to forum.

3. Before the Website update (20^th November), the server time was GMT. (At summer time it was BST, just to make it more confusing.)

 After the update, most people may still have the old offset time. I think it is quite trivial problem if you know how the time works.

 

Good idea Alan to thank Jonathan (and Hanse UK) for this great forum. I fully agree.

When I decided to buy my boat with Hanse UK, they decently sent me to the Dutch dealer. (Eventually I bought mine with the Belgian dealer, but he had to ask the Dutch dealer to invoice me (for tax reasons).) But for my next Hanse (whenever that will be) I will insist on getting it supplied through Hanse UK!
