Time differences in the new website (MIT Club of Puget Sound)

Time differences in the new website

posted Aug 26, 2009 11:19 AM by Deanna Chou

Some of you may notice that the times are totally off between the website, the event link and Smartrans. That's because the new site uses Google which picks up the local time zone of your google account. I noticed this right away when my times were always three hours off from the events I created. When I created my google account back in Vermont, this recorded my timezone as EST. Therefore, events that happened at 12pm PST showed up as 3pm when I loaded the website in the same browser as my gmail account.

I've done my very best to document the real time in the event itself with PST denotations but the only way to permanently fix this confusion is to change the timezone in your google calendar. To do this go to calendar.google.com and click on Settings on the top right hand corner. Change your time zone to Pacific Time zone. This will reset all the times correctly on the website.
