Can't change Profile.

[Curby]

Hi Pekka,
I tried to modifiy my profile because I entered my time zone incorrectly when I registered, but I was unable to access that feature.

I got an error saying:
The username/password you entered is invalid.
Even though I am logged in.

Just thought I would run that by you.
Thanks

I tried it many times and it should work.

Remember that password is case-sensitive (did you have caps lock on?). Have the forum email you the password so you can check it.

Got it, Pekka.
I did log in with curby instead of Curby.
That made a big difference.
Thanks

I had set my Time Zone incorrectly when I originally registered. I do not understand how all of those Time Zone coordinates work. I have a large globe in my tv room that has some of this on it, but I am still confused. I am from New York City, NY. What should I enter?

Thanks

Hey Curby,
At first when I logged in, the time and date shown on the home page was incorrect for my time zone in California. I later found that because my cookies were not enabled, the time was displayed wrong. I then enabled my cookies and relogged in. Now the date and time on the home page reflects the correct date and time for me in California. I assume this is what is supposed to be displayed (?). I have my time zone set to Gmt-08 PST.
You should be at Gmt-05 EST, and just for an experiment, I changed my time zone to this, and the home page displayed NY time....so it should work for you. Don't know why you're having a hard time...try again. Talk to you later.

Yes Nahau, thanks it worked.
Everytime I made a post I would change it. Evenually I Got the right one. Mayme there should be a "Time Zone Chat: Section here at CDPF.
Thanks again Nahau.

I think it's time we get some more people over here. What's the best way to do it. Pekka will you post a link on your home page for people to discover?

Hey Pekka, I'm confused on the time zone also! I live in New Orleans, Louisiana. What zone am I in? Central Standard time in US.

LOL

In Windows, click on your clock and bring up the Date/Time Properties window. Voila, the GMT offset is displayed in parenthesis in the "Time zone" field!''

Maybe simple instructions to this effect could be added to the registration page.
