My board is currently an hour behind due to daylight savings time. Is this something I adjust on my end (i.e. via the control panel) or something my host has to do?

I've tried to do it via my control panel, but I haven't had success.

it's a user setting, they need to set it themselves

What do you mean by "user setting"? Something *I* do in the control panel, or something each individual does?

The reason I ask is because I haven't done a thing here @ UBBDev, and my time is correct.

You may have to adjust in in your control panel as it seems though your server did not make the adjustment itself. Display Options, General, Date and Time tab.

Easy (for the new product or .Threads anyway), define:
Code
putenv("TZ=US/Pacific");
lol... It's what I use on all my sites to define the timezone; works fine with DST and offsets; best of all it uses standard PHP
Code
date()
So you could have all of the users list their timezone as above (or just have a dropdown with the value with the item above) then it'd load their timezone by what they choose so long as the page has the putenv before the time... I am however unsure how reliabele the date system is for adjusting the timezone during DST lol
