I ran into this issue awhile back, and thought it had been
fixed, but it's back.
I don't recall there being a fix for your message time zone display
issue. As I recall, you were seeing a different message timezone
displayed when viewing the message via different means (e.g. smbutil
vs. the internal message reader vs. msglist.js vs. a web interface). So more investigation and details from your end may be helpful. --

Whether I use SyncTerm, MTel, NetRunner,
the web interface,
or via the
embedded FTelnet server from Rick Parrish's site, it's the same thing... showing the time on my message posts as UTC.
I have the internal Windows
time as US Central (with adjustments for Daylight Savings Time), and the same in SCFG.
I'm using SlyEDit (ICE style) for my external editor, and Synchronet (Classic) as the command shell, with 80x24 ANSI, and CP437 as the terminal mode.
If you could give my "digital man" account on your BBS more access, that could possibly help. For example, posting privileges on one of your "local" sub-boards. It smells like a problem with the *display* of the message header and I seem to recall we had a lot of back and forth about whether you had a customized message header.
Which terminal program would never make a difference.
Do we not mean the same thing by "web interface"?
What about when using smbutil or msglist.js?
When you message was exported to DOVE-Net, it had the correct timezone: when_written 60F3C3D8 C168 Sat Jul 17 23:02:00 2021 CDT

The only thing that should matter is what zone you configured in SCFG.

One useful experiment would be to copy text/menu/msghdrexample.asc to msghdr.asc and report back how the message header gets displayed in
that case. --

That fixed it. I'm not sure how msghdr.asc got changed.

I guess it'd be either the webv4 by echicken, or the one that came with Synchronet.
What about when using smbutil or msglist.js?
That I'm not sure of. I use the jsexec for autoposts.

Your BBS is using webv4 by echicken and is displaying the posted time correctly but no time zone information. Previously, you said it was displaying the "same thing" (i.e. UTC) when using the web interface. That's not what I saw, on your BBS. --

Well, the "example header" was copied over, and it fixed the glitch.
Like I said, that didn't actually fix anything; it was just an
experiment. If you now *delete* the text/msghdr.asc file, what happens?

Well, I did, and it showed the correct time. I'll have to look at it another day, and see if it's still there. I'm wondering when I did the update for sbbs_dev and sbbs_run that it changed it.
