Daylight savings times and timezones fix.. I think

Post by FishPants »

So I think I finally got a fix in for all three themes around DST, timezones etc.. I installed a mod that allows you to pick up the timezone from your browser and use that in the board.. Go into your user control panel -> board preferences and you should have a radio button to turn this feature on/off.

No more manual changes if Daylight Savings Time starts/stops, or if I decide to hop a plane to China or something.
No.

I would check it, but, alas, the Board Preferences option now just gives me a blank white page. Deleted cookies, restarted Chrome. Blank page.

/edit - same thing in Firefox.

Works fine for me (thanks FP!). I'm in Subsilver (or whatever the default is called). And IE.

Broken in Black Pearl
wot?

To be fair, adolescent power fantasy tripe is way easier to write than absurd existential horror, and every community has got to start somewhere... right?

Unless one loses a precious thing, he will never know its true value. A little light finally scratches the darkness; it lets the exhausted one face his shattered dream and realize his path cannot be walked. Can man live happily without embracing his wounded heart?

I also use Black Pearl. I'd switch and check, but that requires accessing Board Preferences.

I still can't wrap my head around there being people that don't like Black Pearl.

I wish every forum had this color scheme.

Works great in prosilver. Also like the custom time/date format options.

Thanks FP!

Groove, fishy. Nice because DST is this coming weekend for us East Coasters.

Miss your original avatar FP, but I understand.

Think many of the original members use Black Pearl because it's reminiscence of GG days.
Example, I'm a pro sliver while telcta is a Black Pearl.

Anyone who doesn't use Black Pearl is a closet racist.

For me, it is because a dark screen is much, much more comfortable to look at for an extended time than a bright white one. I'm a little more sensitive to light than most, and the silver/white themes make reading OO feel like staring into a halogen bulb the entire time.

Some of us access the forum way too often at work. A black screen would stand out. I prefer not to draw unwanted attention.

Yeah I'm not feeling this avatar as much.. I'll keep looking or capitulate back to the old.

^ I don't know how my expression looked, while looking at those fishpants. Think my face looked like I was going to sneeze while blowing out birthday candles.
An expression of concern, mixed with great joy, held together with a form of control about to be lost.
