I made a mistake setting the timezone when I installed YAF. How can I change it?

Thanks,

Dave

You can adjust the timezone in the User Control panel under Edit Profile.

And for Guests you would need to edit the Guest user account, in the Admin Panel.

Great info about the Guest! I had the proper time zone, but the "auto adjust timezone" was not checked, so the time was faulty. Checking it for the Guest user account put "last visited" to the proper time.

That feature will be back in YAF 2.2.3

This is good, because the What's New is a powerful tool.

I did find a workaround with 2.2.2. - all the datetime data in the resulting HTML is already properly formatted within tags, so I just added some jquery.timeago() functionality at document.Ready() - and it works as expected. Combining it with the Module Settings gives an impressive result.

Demo web (in Slovenian, but the functionality is obvious):

I cannot find that Guest account. Where is it?

Found it: Admin -> Users and Roles -> Search for Guest and there it is 🙂
