Every day at around 14:10 (I'm in Japan) my expired cards show, but today nothing has come up so far (they would have appeared about a half hour ago)

Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated

Time change in the US, which I guess the main server clock goes off of. They should be up in about 12 minutes.

Edit: Yeah, there they are.

Hahaha - I was wondering about the same thing.

Well, it's 3:02PM in Tokyo now and the reviews are up!

I'm under the impression that you can set your time zone settings in your forum profile, thus changing your new review time to midnight exactly.

You can adapt the time zone setting in your RevTK profile ("My Profile"), that will affect the time of the day at which cards can expire. Maybe I need to change the default setting as well on the site if the server in US changed time. Honestly, it's confusing at best.

Just so you know, the timezone handling on the server or PunBB isn't quite working.  Mine is set to MST (UTC-7), but it's off by an hour.  [edit] I.e., when I posted this, the time was 05:15 MST, but the post time displayed for me is 04:15.  I'm not sure if the server time itself is off or if it's using out of date timezone data.

Thanks for this tip.

I am in Japan.

So if I want the cards to expire at midnight every night, what setting should the time zone setting be?

BTW, the time posting is off by an hour (probably due to DST).  For example, it says 8:48PM when the real time is 9:48PM here in Japan.

I had my time set to AST [while living in EDT][gmt - 4], until yesterday, when the time switched back to EST, in which case I changed the settings to [gmt-5]

Both of those worked perfectly.

You should probably set it to the time zone you're living in[i think japan is +9]. Probably a better idea would be to set it to a zone where the forum post times match your actual times. Ideally, these are the same time zone.

Thank you. 

I think +9 is working fine for a midnight re-trigger here.

My bad, I have updated the Time zone settings of the PunBB forum.

If you set the proper time setting relative to GMT in your PunBB profile, the time should display right now.

As for the main site, it was already the correct -6 GMT for Dallas, TEXAS, where the servers are located. However, that probably means that it was off by an hour for all the summer time until yesterday! If you are in a part of the world that changed the clock yesterday, then you need to update the time zone setting in your RevTK "My Profile > Edit Account" page to your current GMT offset.
