Hi, do you know why when I insert a date in a post choosing Paris as a timezone, it tells me “Berlin” when I click on the date link ?

I think it displays the timezones set in the discourse local dates default timezones parameter

[image] Benjamin_D: discourse local dates default timezones Well, I am set to Paris, but it still displays the timezone as Berlin: [image]

:face_with_raised_eyebrow: weird indeed 2022-08-29T06:00:00Z (UTC)

ah, plus I assume the timezone set in https://meta.discourse.org/u/my/preferences/profile as I see here Paris and Los Angeles

Thanks for trying to help but I checked everything, Windows timezone, my Discourse profile timezone, the parameters settings you indicate me, everything is Paris, and when I click on a date I inserted in a post with the Paris timezone, it says Berlin… This is hopeless :roll_eyes: [image]

Would it be possible to share an url where that happens ?

[image] Benjamin_D: discourse local dates default timezones Much better, I had to delete the content of this setting (which was right): discourse local dates default timezones and recreate it, now it works ! Thanks for the help.

Why does it matter? All those Western European timezones like Europe/Amsterdam, Europe/Paris and Europe/Berlin are just aliases for Central European Time (CE(S)T). I’ve always treated them as equivalent.

Actually they’ll see where they are, the timezones displayed are “site+reader related”, not writer related. If you input a date in the Tokyo timezone it will still be displayed in the site+user timezones. Locations Plugin 🌍 is maybe a better fit for your case? edit: my bad ! the input timezone is added :sweat_smile:

Yes I know but I prefer people see where from I am posting since I change country frequently.
