I have not yet found a way to force the ODO website calendar to display valid raid times.
Here is what the website is showing me:
Raid Schedule
And here are my time settings:
My Time Settings
I can't find any way to "tell" the settings about Daylight Savings Time.
Can someone please help me figure this out? Thanks.
Looking at my own settings, I think the problem may be the repeat of H and m
Try editing it to just have the one H:m and see if that works. Completely counter-intuitive I know, but I didn't design it! 😀
Daylight savings is supposed to kick in automatically, but I think there is currently a problem with the US raid event time (please say if i'm wrong!).
Woah, that is very strange. My own clock settings for an accurate NY timezone (GMT-5) have H:i whatever that means.
I did a post about clock settings generally here: omnedatumoptimum.red/External/Board.html?p=viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D8%26t%3D807 but that doesnt seem to be your problem so much.
In the meantime, for you or anyone else who is having this issue, raids are always on the hour for Team Green. They are 4 pm in my time zone, so I would imagine 3:00 pm if you are in central. Invites start going out around 15 minutes before, ideally we will start on time. We do wait a bit past the hour for people who have signed up to log on, to sort builds, etc, after that we start clearing trash mobs, after that if we have a full-ish raid or alternate people online who want to come we will fill that way and start squid-hunting.
Not sure how US raid does things.
Hopefully this or what AWOL said helps!
Raids for US Team are on the half hour, so 9.30 PM EST, 8.30 PM central 6.30 PM pacific- and same time regardless of DST, at last, for the US zones, I know some countries have DST at different times from the US (which is probably a reason shit breaks in the calendar for others).
Only times late, someone in the team knows so they start group invites for the raid (which will be posted/notification on that days raid on forums, usually case of 'Pyres Job decided to keep him late' or 'Pyre's waiting on a cab because his car is a bag of smashed ass').
Well. Changing the time format from HH:mm to H:m solved the formatting issue (Thank you!), but the times are still off. Now, it shows the raid that starts at 20:30 my time as starting at 19:08 my time. The one-hour difference is undoubtedly due to the website's mishandling of Daylight Savings Time, but the minutes displaying 08 instead of 30 is baffling to me.
Team US:
And the same error for Team Green:
Thanks.
KOWABUNGA! This fixed it!!!! Somehow, in whatever bizarre time format is being used, m=month and i=minute. My previous two formats were specifying:
HH:mm = HourHour:MonthMonth, hence "19:30 <any date in August> became "1919:0808."H:m = Hour:Month, hence "19:30 <any date in August> became "19:08."Every time format scheme I've ever dealt with before this used M=Month and m=Minute, while HH and mm meant "force leading zeroes in the hour and minutes display."
So thank you for setting me on the path of righteousness and goodness, raid-time wise.

Lol...glad my tossing out of random details is useful every so often anyway 🙂
