  • Change Time Zone

    From Zoohouse@VERT to All on Tue Oct 22 11:34:17 2019
    Hello everyone,

    I noticed my posts have the PST time zone when I should be EST. I posted via MultiMail. I checked MM's .mmailrc but didn't see anything regarding time zones. I also checked my account on Vertrauen and can't seem to find where one would change their time zone.

    So the question is, how do I go about chaging my time zone from PST to EST? Thanks,

    Zoohouse

    You don't.

    You're posting on a board (VERT) which is in the PST. Therefore
    your posts will have the ..... PST timestamp.

    (Probably should actually be PDT).

    Oh I see. I thought MM or the BBS adds my local time stamp.

    Cool thanks!

    Vertrauen is on the west coast (currently, PDT), so when you post a message on Vertrauen, it's flagged as having been posted in current timezone.

    Synchronet (and hence, Vertrauen) does support QWK extensions which indicate the timezone a message was posted in (http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:qwk), so if MultiMail supported these extensions (either kludge lines or HEADERS.DAT), then Vertrauen would accept and use the specified time zone of the user/reader. So... best to make a feature request at https://github.com/wmcbrine/MultiMail

    you don't... they take the timestamp of the BBS you write/upload on...

    The only place that I have seen a time zone setting in in Synchronet's Configuration in System. It's like the third thing. Local Time Zone.

    Hope this helps.
