Question How to change time zone?

Look at two pictures in the first post. The second picture illustrates my situation. Tell please - why I cannot change time zone in an account of the user of a forum? No, apparently from picture, "Global Settings".

And then we shall return to uddeim.

The message of the developer uddeim:

uddeIM 2.3 recognizes the local time the user has set up in his profile. So the recipient sees when the message has been written originally.

But I cannot change time zone in properties of an account of a forum!

I can see your pictures. I don't have a problem seeing your pictures.

I am asking you, where in the official Kunena documentation do you see "how to change the time zone"? I have searched but I cannot find how to change the time zone. You asked (in your first message) "Why cannot I change time zone as stated in Kunena docs?" (I've added the emphasis) Where is it stated in the Kunena documentation how you do this? I would like to examine the Kunena documentation to see if there is a mistake. I can't find this documentation. Can you?

What I want you to do is go to your Kunena account profile here at this site ( www.kunena.org/forum/myprofile ) and tell me where you see the ability to change the time zone. I don't know what uddeIM has to do with this issue.

I'm really trying to help you as best as I can. I'm sorry that I'm having a few problems understanding the question you are asking.

Look at a screenshot "kunena user profile". Why I cannot see these properties in the account kunena?

Thank you for showing me where you found the article that shows how the feature may have worked before K 1.6.4.

We are aware that, because of problems in J! 1.6 there were issues that prevent the ability for Joomla extensions to modify the timezone settings with Joomla user accounts. This is documented in the SVN in tracker item 25597 . I don't know any more than what was written there.

It is possible (and I'm just guessing this is what was done) that the ability to change timezone settings with Kunena was disabled as part of K 1.6.4 because of the problems the developers encountered with J! 1.6. Until such time as J! 1.6 is fixed this problem remains. It is probable, therefore, that K 1.6.4 does not give you the ability to change the timezone settings even with J! 1.5.23. I have made a small change to Dates and times in Kunena article to help other users who may be affected like you were.

As you can see here, on this site (which uses K 1.6.4) you cannot do this. Therefore, if you cannot do this here at this site you probably cannot do this on your site. I'm sorry, but that's all I know about this issue at the present time.

The K 1.6.4 release notes state:

In order to achieve better interoperability with both J! 1.5 and J! 1.6, a lot of work has focused on revising the default Kunena template.

There are still a few outstanding matters that have prevented K 1.6 meeting all our expectations to take full advantage of all the features of J! 1.6. As with other Joomla extensions, the Kunena project is not alone in this situation. During our extensive testing of K 1.6.4 the project team has discovered several issues with the Joomla 1.6 core and these have been reported to the Joomla development team. Rather than wait for Joomla 1.7 to be released (expected some time in July this year) we decided that it is better now to release a version of Kunena that handles most of what Joomla 1.6 is capable of providing. There is still further work needed to complete this task and we're continuing to work with Joomla developers to resolve those outstanding matters. If you are in any doubt about whether J! 1.6 is right for you, you should test K 1.6.4 on J! 1.6.3. to form your own opinion of whether J! 1.6 is best for your needs or whether you should use something else.

That's the best explanation I can give you at this time.

It is possible (and I'm just guessing this is what was done)...

Thanks for your answers, but whether probably to receive more precise answer? How to make sure, what this possibility is really lost in v.1.6.4?

As you can see here, on this site (which uses K 1.6.4) you cannot do this. Therefore, if you cannot do this here at this site you probably cannot do this on your site. I'm sorry, but that's all I know about this issue at the present time.

It depends as well on adjustments Joomla... But in this case they, possibly, do not work.
