Hi, We have been having problems with the timezones settings in bright author 2.0.0.42 where it will not synch correctly with our time server using the preset settings for AEST. We tried using the GMT settings but have found that the configurations for the various timezones are incorrect. We are in the eastern part of Australia and are currently in Daylight saving summer time but when setting the timezones either with the preset list or GMT +11 hours the notation says that setting is behind GMT. That is completely wrong GMT+11 is 11 hours ahead of GMT not behind as shown in the list and I imagine that the other timezones relating to our part of the may be wrong as well. Can you advise if there is a possibility of changing the way bright author checks the timesettings.

    When run the setup files, how far off is the time that's listed on your brightsign screen? Or, is the time not displayed at all?

    Hi, Sorry your timezone notation is still wrong. If you check in the windows timezone entries which are correct, AEST is 10 hours ahead or GMT+10 hrs or +11 hours for summer time. You need to adjust your notation as it is not correct. Australia is ahead of GMT not behind. I have manually set the timezone using your GMT-11hrs entry but that is not the right one for our timezone should be GMT +11.
