I am a recent convert to Drupal, and have just finished installing and configuring it for a site I'm developing. The only problem I had during the config process was setting the timezone. The site is in the Atlantic timezone (-0400), but when I choose this option currently, the time is one hour behind. I could set the timezone to -0500, but that wouldn't be correct, and I'd have to remember to change it twice a year.
Anyway, I found this patch http://drupal.org/node/11077 which seems to do what I need, but I can't get the patch applied. So I have two questions:
There are actually several patches in that node, and you didn't mention which one you were using. I'm assuming you just grabbed the first patch and didn't actually read through the thread, or even the dates of the comments.
Ah... I didn't realize the comments could have attachments as well. Looks like I need to investigate this patch a little further. Thanks for setting me straight - I'm in a whole new world here, just trying to get my bearings :)
