Incorrect Date/Time

Post by footeprint »

I am using the Windows based version of YoWindow 3 (3S build 149). Although the weather conditions appear to be accurate (as per the local weather station), the date/time being displayed is incorrect. As of the time of this message, the date and time is June 8th at 10:11pm. However, YoWindow is displaying the date and time as June 5th at 5:11pm. I have confirmed that the date, time and time zone are correct for my computer (Newfoundland time, UTC-3.5).

Is the year set correctly?
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

Yes, year is set correctly. Interestingly, about an hour after my original post the display suddenly showed the correct day and time. There seemed to be a delayed change. I don't think it's anything I did.

Wow, looks very strange.
I have never observed such behavior in YoWindow.
I hope it will stay ok.
If not - I think I need to investigate YoWindw options.xml from your computer.

I have a similar problem; both date and time in YoWindow are incorrect.

The date YoWindow (LIve) displays is consistently one day behind and the time display is one hour off - as if I were still on daylight savings. Today is 11/9/2013; Yo displays "Fr, Nov 8"" (Yo displays 2:52, but the time is actually 1:52). I'm in UTC -5 and daylight savings time expired on Nov 3, 2013.

I've tried rebooting and closing the program and restarting. Nothing seems to help.

The date and time in the system tray are correct and DST automatically changes.

I'm running Win 7.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Larry,

Welcome to YoWindow.

What Build of YoWindow are you using?
What is the exact location that you are having a problem with?

Thank you in advance.

Marty -

YoWindow 3 (3S build 149) is what I'm using.

The location is Dale City, VA; I've loaded other locations, but haven't checked them for errors yet.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I have added Dale City, Virginia to my YoWindow Desktop.
The time and date are correct.

You are in the same Time Zone that I am in.
Make sure you have your computer set as the following.
(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Are you closing YoWindow with a Ctrl+Q?
Have you cleared your Internet Cache?

Let us know if this helps you.
