Is that LA as in Los Angeles (PDT) or LA as in Louisiana (CDT)?
Either way that's weird, given that my time zone is always CST (which is now equivalent to MDT) and therefore ostensibly only a 1-hour offset (+ or –) from the server. And yet, as noted earlier, I now require a +2-hour offset to make it jibe with local time.
And still no answer to this query and observation.
Thanks, all, for repeatedly ignoring my queries (while answering everyone else's). Glad to know where I stand.
No need to get snippy! tacit's the only one who can answer your questions authoritatively, and he hasn't weighed in yet.
But I think it's cystal clear that his LA meant Los Angeles, not Louisiana, and that the server isn't set to daylight savings time.
