houstonmacbro Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) What time zone is HAIF in? I notice that around 11 p.m. Houston-time, it actually showed (or I thought it did) midnight. I never really noticed (the actual time stamp) until I posted this late.Is HAIF set to Eastern Time Zone?

Mark F. Barnes Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought it was Chicago Based........Wouldn't that be CST? Mac just set your timezone default in you user settings section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have it set for CST and auto DST correct. But every now and then it still shows weird dates and times (especially near the midnight hour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The HAIF server is located in Eastern Time (Pittsburgh). When you sign up, you tell it what time zone you're in and it adjust for you. The server, itself, thinks in UTC and tries to make adjustments for everyone. It doesn't always work. Especially when someone on HAIF hasn't set their time zone and another one has, then there can be double-corrections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
