Hi there,

Could you please tell me when your site is going to adjust to daylight sayings which occured at 2am in London Uk on Sunday 28th March.

At the moment your site is an hour out as the clocks went forward so competition trackers are not showing the correct times.

Thanks for your help :D

Hi,

Bit confused by what you mean - the competition trackers run on GMT, which never changes throughout the year. GMT does not have a daylight savings or regular time - it's just plain GMT all year round, and is not affected by the time changes of any country. The UK uses GMT during the winter, but switches to BST (GMT +1) for the summer. GMT itself remains unchanged.

Hope that helps - but let me know if I'm missing something. :)

Ok, now I am confused :roll:

Prior to the Daylight savings in the Uk on Sunday 28th March, our monthly trainer tracker was due to finish at midnight and it is now going to finish at 0100 on 1st April. I simply entered times at GMT times.

I live in London and am used to just using GMT and not +plus so I suppose now I have to add on an hour for the correct start times. Our clan works off the actual time in London so right now as I am posting this it is 2247hrs whereas the scoresheet would say 2147.

Annoying but if it is necessary then so be it :P

Thanks for your help :D

That would be the problem then - the time in London and GMT are not the same thing. :)

Google "current time in London": http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cu ... +london+uk
Google "current time in GMT": http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cu ... ime+in+gmt

In the future I may add a timezone functionality to the trackers so you'd be able to set the time in your own timezone - which may cut down on some of the confusion.
