The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Oh jeez, it's that time of year again. Seems like I just reset all my watches/clocks the other day.

Yeah, the new North American DST does seem to start early and finish late. At least this one's easier because with an hour forward there are no 'danger zone' issues.

And don't forget to change the time in your Breitling Source user preferences!

We are stubborn in Arizona - no DST! There is a practical reason too - when it's 110 degrees, we really don't want an extra hour before the sun goes down.

That should change automatically based on your computer's clock.

No it doesn't - it's set in the User Control Panel > Board Preferences

I had to go in and click 'yes' on the "sunlight/dst in effect" button for it to display the correct time.

I had to go in and click 'no' last year when we fell back an hour. Every time clocks change, I have to go in and do that.

Have I been doing something wrong all this time?

Edit - I guess I was doing it right!

Yes, but once you've set it once, it changes automatically, no?

And if you haven't set it so far, why bother change with the DST time change?

Never changed for me.

It's not tied to the computer clock.

Well, pardon me if I insist Roff, but I just chose UTC+1 once under Board preferences and after that every time I log in the time appearing at the top right hand side is the same as my computer's clock, hence actual time for me, DST or no DST.

I will however monitor that at the end of the month (since we change to DST a coupla weeks later than you do) and I'll keep you posted if it stays on winter time because last year I noticed no error during DST. But maybe I'm wrong...

OK.

Mine did not change this morning, that's all I can tell you.

I had to select "DST is in effect" for mine to be correct. No change in the actual UTC +/-.

If you do that while not in DST time, it will move the forum's clock 1 hour ahead.

Right, exactly that. Until I did that the time was showing an hour behind even though my computer clock was correct (had automatically adjusted).
