Hi,
I noticed that the date_offset variable in control panel affects not only the current time of the forum but also the time of all posts. I understand why the date_offset affects the current time of the forum, but I don't understand why it affects also the time of all posts.
For example: I choose another webhosting company in another GMT zone. I can see the advantage to set the date_offset to get the current time of my home (of my last webhosting company). But what is the advantage to change also the time of all the posts, since I'm not living in the GMT zone of my new webhosting company and also since all my users didn't change too of GMT zone? Can someone explain me this?
I think the variable date_offset in control panel should affect only the current time of the forum. Maybe a option to choose if or not the date_offset variable affects the time of all the post would be a nice idea.
Thank you.
François
