No, the timezone you should select, would need to reflect the timezone of your site. So, for example, if you've set the time of your forum to reflect let's say the time in Florida, you should specify the timezone offset in your RSS file to reflect the Florida timezone (of which I have no clue which time zone that is...I guess EST). This to ensure that the reader of the RSS feed knows that the post time of 12:20:12 is 12:20:12 Florida time, and not 12:20:12 local (e.g. the readers) time.<
I have probem with the date of the feed. I tested it in Opera 8.01 - here I see the date correct. I tried to use this reader http://feedreadercz.semania.com/ and I see the date of the same feed at 19 hours minus as in Opera. Where could be the problem? I made no changes in the rss.asp with time. Thanks<
I am still learning. Sorry for my stupid questions (sometimes) and bad English.
Hans, can you provide me a with a link to both the RSS feed using http://feedreadercz.semania.com/ and your direct rss.asp file ? I'll have a look then.<
Certainly cheerfully Here is the rss.asp, which I use on my forum: http://flashmedia.cz/2004/v_01/forum/rss.txt Here is the link to EN version (2.9) of RSS read, what I use: http://feedreader.com/ Please try to test it, because feeds from others sites display the time correctly.

That feed is looking splendid ; http://flashmedia.cz/2004/v_01/forum/rss.asp If I use SkyZyx to view the feed, it shows me the post times with the servertime of SkyZyx (US time, so about 9 hours earlier). So, thát part is working great.
I've tried Feedreader, but it seems that feedreader simply doesn't interpret the RSS feed correctly...I've also tried RssReader, and that one too displays the incorrect times... I'm a bit lost now. Here are two screenshots from your RSS feed. The first in RssReader: The second in FeedReader: Let's take that first topic as the key topic ; The RSS feed gives this info about that topic:

So, we've got the time info, which is today at 9:09 am, in the timezone GMT+2. So, when that topic was posted/last replied to, the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) would be 07:09am. However, when I view it (timezone GMT+1), it shows as being posted at 11:04am in RssReader, and as posted at 14:09 yesterday in Feedreader.... It's not just your feed that's displayed incorrectly ; also my own feed (http://www.oxle.com/rss.asp) is displayed incorrectly... A topic posted this morning at 09:04 +200 (so, 07:04 GMT) is displayed as being posted at 11:04 in RssReader, and as 14:04 yesterday in FeedReader... I'm lost......<
Hm, thank for exploration. I used the feed reader in Opera as I written, there was the time of my feeds OK. But if somebody don´t know the problem, use of course own reader and think, that then time of my feeds are correct. <

At one of my sites I am receiving this error: does anyone have an idea what is wrong?
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
NiteOwl, I'm not experiencing the missing %> in rss.asp ; it works just fine when I check it out. A bit strange.
I'm using SharpReader most of the time ; seems to do the job just ok for me. I also tried your rss feed from BCFMWU-forum.com, and in SharpReader it works. However, the time is also not displayed as it should be. Are you sure you've used my rss.asp file? <
I am using the rss.asp from your site, and now SharpReader, however I have the following for the time, and maybe thats my problem; rfc822timezone = "CST" My Servers are in Newark, Delaware and my site is on the Pacific Coast in BC, Canada
I have now changed it too: rfc822timezone = "-0700"
