I've noticed an issue when trying to schedule my clan's events on our noticeboard for a couple of weeks now, and I think it began when NXT was released. When I save an event date and go to broadcast it, it will broadcast it as it being one day before the actual event time. For example, if I saved an event on 16 May at 22:00, the noticeboard would save it as 15 May at 22:00, and it's really rather inconvenient to have to make sure I plug my events in incorrectly in order for them to save correctly. Trust me, I've double-checked, and I'm not just saving the days wrong in the first place. I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this issue.

I'm not sure if it's related or not, but we've had a similar problem with the Noticeboards and Broadcast systems.

A member tried to Broadcast an Event that was happening in 7 minutes time set on Wednesday April 12th @ 21:30 Clan Time, but the Broadcast system sent that it was happening in 1 day 7 minutes time on Thursday April 13th @ 21:30 Clan Time.

This shouldn't matter because you can set the timezone that is used for your clan.

There is currently, and has been since release of the clan system, a bug with the noticeboard that the date of an event displays as one day previous than it was set. It should still factor in as the correct day when broadcasted though. ~ Sicariu

I think it does broadcast on the right day. I set the date to a different date so it'd *show up* as the correct day, and I made it give me a notification reminder. I got the reminder, but a day removed.

So this isn't just a NXT issue, it's been going on for a while :P I think it has to do with how most programming languages start counting at 0, but our calendar dates start at 1? Either that didn't get compensated or it got over-compensated (But I reckon the source of the issue is much more difficult than that)

I mean, I've run my clan since February 2015, and there hasn't been a problem until recently with the dates not matching up, which is what makes it even more confusing after hearing your responses.

Regardless, there's a little issue that should probably be addressed and fixed here since we're all having difficulties. :P

This is an already known bug and is due to the local time on a computer not being uk time. Unfortunately it's not one I've got round to fixing yet, for which, my apologies. Mod Maz
