Per the title - normally I'd have GTP set to GMT +13 (NZ) for daylight savings, but since the NZ government extended the length of DST recently, GMT +13 now puts my GTP clock an hour slow.

I realise once the UK gets on/off daylight savings soon it should automatically correct itself, but is it possible to get a +14 timezone added? I could use -12 instead, but that would make all the dates a day in arrears.

+14 timezone (if it's in fact possible or a vBulletin limitation), pretty please Mr J? :dopey:
 
Also, GMT+10 does not have the daylight saving either. So all posts look like they have been posted an hour ago. If it's possible, please include a GMT+11 aswell for daylight saving in Eastern Aus.
 
Well, GTP is confusing me now.

On another forum I have the time modifier set to +1300 hrs (it's a forum where you specify the exact GMT offset, and should be noted it doesn't run vB), and a post there from 13 minutes ago (it's 3:57pm local right now) is listed as 15:44 = 3:44pm, which is as it should.

However with GTP also set to +13 GMT and with DST corrections on or automatic, it's currently 2:57pm. I suspect this is a vBulletin thing, as another (different to the first one I mentioned, but uses vB) forum I am on also suffers from this "problem".

:confused:

It won't - GMT never changes, only local time compared to it... Until last weekend, we were on BST (GMT+1), but we've now switched back to GMT.
 
I see. :dunce:

That doesn't explain why I'd need a +14 timezone though, does it? No idea what was going on (GMT doesn't change so +13 GMT should've shown the correct time, but it didn't...), but GTP now shows the correct time.
