Older stats issue

We think there is a bug in the timezone code somewhere. The dates held in the database are based on EST time as that is where the box is, but when it shows it it attempts to convert it to a localtime but it's going wrong. Might just revert this to using UTC at somepoint perhaps. It's gopher's baby though so I'll lte him take a look first. (perhaps we had some hacks in the tz code that didn't come over from the old box? )

Pooh! I thought you were onto something really good in the Predictive Computing area! Oh, well. If it's just a TZ error, then it's a small one. If you do decide to get into PC, let me know!

Hmm okay I'll have a look at it. I did do a few code changes back and forth to get it work, I guess it broke...

AH found the problem - had to set the TZ to a custom one since it just wouldn't behave since AZ doesn't do DST but the server kept thinking it did.. fixed line removed and tested working - porting to live or I will as soon as it allows me to

Thanks, Gopher. A small item, but good to get it fixed. You guys do great work!

Yeah something we overlooked when the move happened - totally forgot the line was in there, although I should have remembered the amount of code / recode I did when the DST / BST kicked in / out..
I'm working on getting the "radar" to be a bit more well flexible, and then have it hide / reveal as requested.

Yes well writing it and then making it work were two different things, condensing what was basically 4 separate calls to the database into one function so that the function gets the right data and then checks the data to see if it should be "included" i.e there is a threat / opportunity there wasn't easy and making sure it was passed all the right information in order to do that was harder.. it's a function and not part of the normal flow of data so variables and lots of them need to be passed to make it work..
if anyone wants to have a look at it, I'll try and port it to the "live" stats rather than the "dev test" pages which means a little clean up here and there
