The Discourse Event plugin has timezone issues where events set to a specific timezone display incorrectly in the topic, showing UTC instead. nathank reports that while the correct time appears in the topic list, the event details show UTC, and a workaround is to set the timezone to UTC. MrScopi confirms the same issue and seeks a fix. david acknowledges the bug, stating a fix is in progress, and later announces that several fixes have been pushed, improving timezone handling. Users are encouraged to report any remaining issues.
When I set the Timezone appropriately in the Event Settings as per this:
The correct time is displayed in the Topic list (it was 2 hours ago)
UTC is shown in the topic instead (i.e. 13 hours behind for us)
At the moment, if I simply set the timezone as UTC it works fine.
I have added this CSS to prevent users from adding a timezone
// hide the timezone field for Discourse Events / Calendar Plugin
.discourse-post-event-builder-modal .timezone {
display: none;
}
This is happening to me too, if there are any fixes available or if I missed a server setting I would love to know. Thank you!
We’re aware of the issue, and hope to have a fix ready soon. In the meantime, the workaround is to set the event’s timezone in UTC - it will then be correctly translated to everyone’s local timezone in the UI.
Thanks for the response, I plan to keep it set so I’ll know when its fixed. We’re still evaluating it as a way to organize events, so it was more inconvenient than game-breaking.
I’ll be sure to post here as soon as it’s fixed - set this topic to ‘watching’ and then you’ll get a notification for replies 
I’ve pushed a number of fixes to the plugin, so things should be working much better now 
Please let us know if you’re still seeing any timezone-related issues. (cc @nathank @MrScopi)
