Changelog shows incorrect dates

Question

I made an edit at 21 April 03:18 NZST (UTC+12).  In my changelog it shows as 03:18 under the heading "20 Apr 2023".  The hour and minute are correct, but the day is wrong.

Furthermore, typically under each day's heading there are changes from before and after the same midnight.

It seems that the Hour is being adjusted correctly for local timezone , but the Day headings are positioned according to some other timezone, resulting in early morning edits (local time) being reported as off by 24 hours.

Answer 1

Yes, this  happens in my time zone too. currently, the hour and minute are correct per my time zone but the date is incorrect (appears as yesterday). At some times of year, the hour is also wrong (not adjusted for local daylight saving time).

I doubt if the site software would know who in the world is on daylight saving time when, but you can make an adjustment for that in the 'Time Zone' portion of the 'Settings' sub-menu under the 'My WikiTree' menu.  I'm not sure you can fix the date that way, but you could give it a shot.

I’d forgotten I need to manually change the offset for daylight savings (which I set from the browser). But it doesn’t fix the date issue. The log shows my most recent  changes were made at 8:59 on 20 April. They were made 8:59am on 21 April

And my change log shows this for one day -

The difference in times all on the same day is because of the server's difference offset from my time zone.  It isn't wrong.  It isn't a bug.  It is what it is and why the contributions badges always show up hours before midnight on the last day of a month, instead of the early hours of the first day of a month.

It is a bug. The times are correct, but the day headings are in the wrong place. See earlier discussion at this link.

Thanks Jim. Wonder why it hasn't been fixed yet?
