Server Time Offset

Advanced Poll -> Admin -> General Settings

What is the server time offset feature? I (and most of my visitors) live in the Pacific Time zone, but my server is in the Eastern Time zone. We are thre hours behind where my web server is. So do I set the option for 3 hours, or 21 hours?

Anybody know the answer to this question?

The server time is the physical location of your server and determined by your webhost. This time shows in your "General" configuration.

The server time offset gives you the ability as the administrator to alter the time based upon your geographic location.

Our server for http://www.eschellon.com is located in California. The band is in Connecticut, so we adjusted the server time by setting the server time offset to 3, since we are three hours ahead of California (+3)

Now when we view the generql configuration it is the current time EST for us.

Hope this helps

Thank you. I had the opposite situation, so I put (-3) and it seems to work great.
