This doesn't need to be a private issue. This is intententional behavior. G:Lines are stored using GMT because that's the format epoch time goes by, and having all IRC timestamps in epoch is pretty much standard. Each time you request the time from the server, it is really epoch-offset=yourtime. For example, you are in the -2 timezone so it would be: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:06:48 GMT is 1223831208 You would subtract 2 hours from that: - 7200 = 1223824008 Which makes it: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:06:48 GMT-2 EDIT: If we did the subtraction to store everything in local time, 2 things would happen: 1: Unreal will run slower, because it would need to do this calculation on every single timestamp, and everything in IRC has a timestamp associated with it. 2: Servers in other timezones will have the wrong time! |
