Hi. I'm using DNN 6.2.2 and DNN Forum Module (5.0.3).

There is a problem related with posting time. The posting time of thread is displayed correctly when I was not logged in. But when I logged in, posting time changed to incorrect time. Both admin account and normal account has this problem. Site setting's timezone and account's timezone setting is same. How to solve this problem?

This is my question in community exchange http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/C...

I found that other module (like repository) has same issue. And It seems that each account's preferred timezone setting does not works for module.

Have you found a solution for this?

You will likely want to recompile the forum source code with the ConvertTimeZone method in the utility class to be changed to 


Dim postTime As DateTime = displayCreatedDate
                Dim GMTTime As DateTime = System.TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(displayCreatedDate, GetPortalSettings().TimeZone)
If HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated Then
Dim objUser As Users.UserInfo = Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo
                    'Dim UserTimeZone As System.TimeZoneInfo = objUser.Profile.PreferredTimeZone
                    'Dim UserTime As DateTime = System.TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(displayCreatedDate, UserTimeZone)
                    'displayCreatedDate = UserTime

                    displayCreatedDate = objUser.LocalTime(GMTTime)
End If


that is what I had to do to get it working with DNN6 time zone info for user profiles.
