Help with time zone html

I live in the eastern time zone -5. I have went here p079.ezboard.com/fcooltipsntricksfrm11.showMessage?topicID=56.topic and copied all my scripts and pasted them in the proper html box.

I changed my var GMToffset = -5;

and have my date format set at var DateForm =4;

Now my board time is showing 3 hours behind for me. Did I set something wrong, or is there something else I need to do or change? TIA

Re: Help with time zone html

Oooops, Sorry about that! Thanks for moving my post.. Can someone please help me? I put this post up 4 or 5 days ago and no reply... I think i'm gonna go crazy with my time 3 hours behind.. I have both my html and control panel GMT set at -5. Is the control panel suppose to be set at -5 if your using the custom Html scripts? I live in Ohio -5 Eastern time zone..

Here's what I have in my custom html box ( I will leave off the script brackets so I can post it)..

Box 1

Re: Help with time zone html

change this to 0

var DateForm = 4;

e.g.
var DateForm = 0;

Re: Help with time zone html

Ok, I changed to 0, but it didn't help.. My board is still showing 3 hours behind for me.. The time is right for a member I have in Scotland, Lol... I have another member in the -5 time zone and she said it's 3 hours behind for her also... Hmmm, this is strange.. My site is on P105 but it's a MBA site...

Re: Help with time zone html

Could do with one of the script experts to look at this one.
