Why is Time (You) showing 5 hrs ahead of what it should be? My server is in US East, GMT -4, as am I but my settings page shows:
Time (Server) June 29 2021 12:23:29
Time (You) June 29 2021 17:23:29
Time (Guests) June 29 2021 12:23:29
Time (Default for New Users) June 29 2021 12:23:29
My settings are:
Set this so server time is GMT 0 - set to GMT -4
Guests offset - set to GMT -4
Default Timezone - set to GMT -4
Now, I assume the first setting should be the timezone the server is in, but to me the instructions are a bit confusing....

Just set the same time zone for all and that's it.
Nothing hard to understand
Time (Server) - this is not even used in the core, so ignore this
Time (You) - your timezine (you can set this in edit profile)
Time (Guests) - time for guest
Time (Default for New Users) - default time
In my opinion, all these options are completely useless. And maybe in version 9.10 I'll drop them and keep only one time zone option.

I do not see an option to set my timezone in my profile...that was the first place I thought of looking.

OK, I tried to install the TimeZone user field, under the Miscellaneous Information category, but it doesn't appear. To test functionality, I added the First Name and Last Name fields to the Contact Information Category. They show up OK.
I also see a message when trying to add the TimeZone field.
"Another record with the same field name existed in the database record. Please choose another field name."
When I look at my DB user_fields table, I see only the 'First Name' and 'Last Name' records.
Just FYI, this is a recently upgraded install from V7.xx to V9

Ok, I'll check upgrade script.
To fix this, open SQL tab in phpmyadmin and run this sql. It will add missing row into user_fields table

Code Download source
INSERT INTO YOURPREFIX_user_fields (field_id, field_title, field_name, field_cat, field_type, field_default, field_options, field_error, field_required, field_log, field_registration, field_order, field_config) VALUES
(6, 'Timezone', 'user_timezone', 4, 'file', '', '', '', 0, 0, 0, 1, ''); answered
Thanks, That did the trick.
