Comment times should be set by server and display timezone

XMLWordPrintable

      Comment times don't make sense – looks like they're being set by the browser (in different time zones). See attached screenshot, where a preceeding comment has a timestamp later than the following one.

            This is the result of CONF-860 – the default date/time format for Confluence was a 12-hour clock without an AM/PM marker. This was fixed for Conflunce 1.0-rc6, but we never made the corresponding configuration change on confluence.atlassian.com when we upgraded.

            I've fixed the date format on confluence.atlassian.com to use a 24 hour clock.

            I can confirm that this is an AM/PM issue.

            Oh, thanks for letting us know.

            Do you remember which page this was on?

            Matt,

            I really don't know. I was commenting on behavior I saw at
            confluence.atlassian.com. We don't use confluence here, so it's
            possible that what I saw (and attached a screenshot of) may have been an
            AM/PM thing. Either way, it should be addressed.

            Thanks,

            Matt Kenigson

            The comment timestamp is set on the server side, and the comments should always be ordered by creationdate on a page.

            Are you able to have a look at the timestamps on these comments in your database? Replace XXX with the ID of the comment, which you can get from the end of the 'Permalink' URL (just the number bit).

            SELECT creationdate, lastmoddate FROM content WHERE contentid = XXX

            The creation date is what appears on the page, and should be the sort order as well. If this isn't the case here, we have ourselves an interesting bug.

            ...or is this an AM/PM issue? Looks like it may be related to CONF-1026 in any case
