Inconsistancy concerning publish-dates

Dear collegues,

Luus found some inconsistancy concerbning the publish-dates. Obviously, she gets different results than I do.

I will fix ist now, so that the dates are in corerct sequence. I'll post again hier after fixing and then, we can have a close look, that everyone sees the same.

I'll start work now ,,,

Uwe

Work is done now.

Work is done now.
I add a screenshot of the list. Everybody should see the same as I do.
Luus, would you check, if your list is the same as my screenshot?
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day/evening
Uwe

Dear Uwe, I am completely at

Dear Uwe,

I am completely at a loss now. Is there a reason why you put the time at 22.30 instead of the 00.30 we were used to?

I will now back off for I just don't get it.

Blessings,
Luus

Let's see if Will should

Let's see if Will should come into this. He may well know something helpful.

Time entry

Dear Gloria, dear collegues,

i allways set the time to 00:30:00. Sometimes it changes to 02:30:00 and i don't know why. To ask Will is a good idea.

Love
Uwe

Last night someone changed

Last night someone changed all dates under "publish on" again and set the time to 22.30 starting with May 18. I know this because I received email notifications of all not yet published Heavenletters.

I have no idea who did this and would like to know, for seeing different dates under "Publish date" and "publish on" is very confusing.

Hi Luus, this was my work as

Hi Luus,
this was my work as I announced it above. Everything seems to be right as I see it and as you can see in my screenshot above.

I really don't know, why you see a time entry 22:30.

Love
Uwe

Dear Uwe, What I see under

Dear Uwe,

What I see under the Heavenletters listing is quite different from what I see in your screenshot and I am completely at a loss why someone would would want to change the time from 00.30 on the pubish date to 22.30 on the day before without telling who it is who does this and why. And I also don't understand why this must be started on May 18.

Love,
Luus

screenshot hl listing

Dear Uwe and Luus,

this is what I see when I view the heavenletters listing publish on 8.30 and from May 18. 10.30?

Can't attach photo, size to big....

from heart to heart, namasté, Anneke

It seems that someone is

It seems that someone is trying to be funny by changing the dates and times all the time.

Screenshot from Anneke

Hi,
I post the screenshot from Anneke here, so that we can see the differences.

Anneke's and mine differ in 8 hours.

So we want Heavenletters

So we want Heavenletters published at 00:30? But there's a vital peice of information missing here, which time zone?

From the edit histories, it looks like it's Uwe and Luus changing the "publish on" dates, and they're both changing the time to 00:30, but their accounts are set to display different time zones. Luus' account is set to display UTC time, and Uwe's account is set to display Berlin time, and there's precisely a 2 hour difference between the two, which is what appears to be creating all the problems.

So the question is, which time zone is correct? If it's 00:30 UTC, we should probably set our accounts to display UTC time, which can be done by going here: http://heavenletters.org/user clicking the Edit tab, and scrolling down to the Default Time Zone.

Thanks a bunch, Will. You

Thanks a bunch, Will. You came to the rescue!

The only problem is that

The only problem is that neither Uwe nor me changed the time to 10.30 or 12.30 as in Anneke's screenshot.
There cannot be a two hours time difference between Amsterdam and Berlin! There is a two hours time difference between Amsterdam and Moscow! I just checked and Berlin and Amsterdam have the same time.
I never saw anything other than 00:30 in the list, so I guess we should stick to that.

The reason her screenshot is

The reason her screenshot is different is the same reason that's causing all this confusion, different time zones. Anneke's account is set to the "Pacific/Yap" time zone.

changed the time zone

Dear all,

I changed the time zone. Now the listing is the same as from Uwe.

from heart to heart, namasté, Anneke

Now it is clear

Thank you, Will, thanks a lot.

I now have set the timezone of my account to UTC.

I will take a silent hour today or tomorrow and fix it again.

I'm sorry for causing that trouble, I did it unintentionally!

Thank you all!

Uwe

Looks like 00:30 UTC is the

Looks like 00:30 UTC is the time they're normally published, so I guess we'll stick to that from now on.

Sounds good to me! Thanks,

Sounds good to me! Thanks, everyone!

My dear Uwe, we are all

My dear Uwe, we are all innocent here in this. Everyone knows that you would only do all possible to do the best and create harmony for all. This is so clear, Uwe, what a caring heart you have. We are grateful to you and all who do the very best we possibly can. A thousand blessings.

And I am still puzzled about

And I am still puzzled about this. How is it possible that I see 00:30 until May 18, and then May 18 22:30, while I used to see 00:30 always, also when Uwe started posting the new Heavenletters.

Can anyone explain?

Anneke now sees the same as Uwe, why not me?

That's what everyone should

That's what everyone should see now, at least everyone who has set their account to UTC. The ones after May 18th still need to be changed to 00:30 UTC.

I changed my time zone to

I changed my time zone to Amsterdam and now I see 00:30 starting May 18, but 02:30 until May 18. Well, let's leave it at this, it is now clear to me that it all depends on the time zone.

I'm delighted that Will

I'm delighted that Will figured this out, and now it's working! Too complex for me to figure out. Glad you're here, Luus, alerting us to everything. You don't miss a trick!

It should be allright now

Dear collegues,

I changed the "publish on" value to 00:30:00 UTC. And will take this value for all followning HLs.

This means, that when the time zone of your account is set to UTC, you will see the publish-on-value as 00:30:00 of the day, the HL shall be published.
When your account has a time zone east of UTC, you will see a time later on the day, for example Berlin 02:30:00.
When your account has a time zone west of UTC, you will see a time earlier, normally the evening of the previous day. It simply is that way, because it is the eveneing of the preceding day in yout time-zone, when it is short past midnight UTC.

I hope, everything is fine now.

Love & blessings to all from Germany
Uwe

Hi, Uwe! God tells us that

Hi, Uwe!

God tells us that everything is fine! Even when we get caught up in things, everything is fine!

Thank you, Uwe. It is good to be reminded!
