TOPIC:

The start time of meetings on our club calendar has one hour subtracted from it over the months from November through to March. Despite it showing 20:00 hours on the agenda itself, on the calendar it shows 19:00 hours. This is also the period of 'winter time' or I believe it is called 'daylight saving time' in the USA. What is the fix for this please? We do not want prospects turning up an hour early and finding no one about. Clonmel 5462

Are the current calendar entries correct?

The calendar entry for a particular agenda is created/updated when you edit a specific agenda with the pencil button and then save that agenda. If the calendar entry for the current agenda is correct, it may just be a case of going back to resave old agendas to fix the calendar entries.

You can help expedite support requests if you put your club number in your forum signature. See the link in my forum signature for how to do that.

Thank you Steve for the link to add my club number to my forum signature. I hope I have done it correctly. On the problem of the wrong start time 19:00 hours appearing on the calendar entry for an agenda which shows the correct time of 20:00 hours, I've tried the pencil edit and save route but to no avail. I have used agenda templates for the months September 2015 through to June 2016 but the problem only occurs in the months November to March which happen to coincide with 'winter time'. I have never had this happen before and I can't figure it out. Cheers, Mick.

This may take a while to sort through. (time zone issues are kind of tricky)
I will need your patience and persistence on this.

Thank you Steve for looking into it. I have absolutely no idea on how to fix it so if it takes a while that wont bother me at all. I'm just glad you are going to give it a try. Cheers, Mick.

I may need you to check some things for me as I look into it.

Have you tried just tweaking the timezone setting to get the desired result?

Hi Steve, presently the time zone is set at GB-Eire. I have tried a few other time-zone settings just to see what would happen but it steadfastly refuses to come right. I'm using the meeting date of Thursday November 12th as the date of observation as this is the first date for our meetings containing the start time error which then continues through the months until March. We meet on the 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month. Using the day feature of the calendar I have tried dragging the meeting time into the 20:00 hrs slot but this does not stick.

As an experiment I have entered the same four agenda templates with a start time of 20:00 hours either side of the scheduled time change from summer time to winter time and back again. The results indicate to me that the problem is linked to summer/winter time. The calendar entry on 24th October 2015 correctly shows a 20:00 hours start yet the entry for the same agenda the following day 25th Oct. 2015 shows a start time of 19:00 hours. Similarly it is wrong on the 26th March 2016 (last day of our winter time) but correct on the 27th March 2016. I've left these entries in place should you wish to take a look and will remove them once you have done so. I hope I have been of some assistance and not confused you. Cheers, Mick.

Hi Steve, just a short note to thank you for solving the calendar daylight saving time problem about which I corresponded with you some time back. I have been able to fix our scheduled start times on our calendar now thanks to all your hard work. I really appreciate this and hence this short note as I hope that you don't feel we take you guys for granted. Cheers, Mick.
