btmart Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Posting here because this is potentially a noob question. I've dug and dug around the settings for my web account and forum settings, but can't seem to find a place to change the time zone. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Derfburger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 +1 interested in this information as well. I have never been able to find a setting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadescythe Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Probably because it's in a weird place. Contact Information in your My Account section on here will let you set a timezone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) My Account > Contact Information> Time Zone Sometimes it has the right value, but seems to ignore it. In which case, set it to something else, save, then reset to correct, and save again. Worked for me. Then you just have to make sure you are logged in.

btmart Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 That did it! Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishraArtificer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm a Founder (preordered the CE the week it was announced) and I STILL didn't know you could do that. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapVallian Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I don't see a Contact info in the list. Only thing close is Basic info and Forum Management. Neither of which has a time zone option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_ivar Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Don´t have it either, probably because I used a GTC and not a credit/debit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I can not update my time zone either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adric_the_Red Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) If you log in and then click the My SWTOR link, that page has a "Manage My Account" box, with a Contact Information link. But when I click it, I get "Page Not Found". Don´t have it either, probably because I used a GTC and not a credit/debit card.I was able to access the Contact Info page before, and set the forums to my timezone, but I can't now. Has nothing to do with how you pay for your sub. I've never used a time card to subscribe. Edited August 27, 2015 by Adric_the_Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah, looks like it disappeared. Ticket anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMFalcon Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah, looks like it disappeared. Ticket anyone?? Bump. "Contact Information" doesn't even appear anymore in My Account. Seems to have been replaced with "Basic Information", which has no option to set time zone. I remember setting my time zone in Contact Information in the past. Now the forum timestamps have reverted to GMT for me, and there is no longer an option to display in my time zone. Was this a result of the swtor.com page updates that occurred back in August (beginning 2015-08-11)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Was this a result of the swtor.com page updates that occurred back in August (beginning 2015-08-11)? I have never seen the contact information tab, only the basic information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRogue Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have never seen the contact information tab, only the basic information. Same. I didn't know you could change the time, but would be most helpful if I could. Instead of it being weird times on the Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterSarynn Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Bumping this as it is really annoying and a basic forum feature. It should be listed in forum management in your account section. Please get this added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamat Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Having the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Having the same issue. My guess is that they removed it. Some players have said that they had the setting a while back but I have never seen it so it might have been available for a certain region. It would be cool if they enabled the option to see the exact time for the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belhawk Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 developer, bring back timezone settings or make sure it is set correctly for everyone. U missed daylight savings time adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerqa Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I am not seeing a way to set my time zone anymore either. I know there used to be an option to do so. I have checked both My Account and My SWTOR but all I am getting is the Basic information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadescythe Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I just checked my account again and do not see the option that I used to change it before. It does appear to be a forum bug or an intended removal with negative side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokku_ Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I dont know why they wouldn't let us change the time zone, but is very annoying. I want to change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethna Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Running into the same problem myself - needless to say this is supremely annoying.... especially when you're going to the forums to check on the status of a bug/outage/patch. Please fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeekwan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I am looking for this as well. How do I change it? I think it is REALLY wrong for where I am! (East Coast USA). (it is five hours off!!!) Edited November 17, 2015 by Obeekwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effec Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 That did it! Thank you very much! Yet it worked for the OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
