[Mediawiki-l] Problem with TZ settings

[Simon Renshaw]

I put the offset at -5.

I checked the preferences of the user and I see Server time	16:36 and Local time	16:31.

So I went on the server and it has the correct time (11:XX), as does my own station.

Could this be a DB problem?

1) set $wgLocalTZoffset
2) confirm that your account doesn't have a different preference set
