A possible timezone bug...

I set the forum to my timezone in my WP settings and set my own timezone in my profile, and now the timestamp feature is working correctly for everyone. However, the timezones seem to be wrong in the PM system. Here's a message from one of my forum members:

The only time stamp I see not matching my time is in the message system.  It is not coming up my own, when reading my private messages.  I can't say which time zone as it's way off for me and I didn't stop to calculate if it was African/Nairobi.rolleyes  I know the ones I sent did not match my time zone and the ones I received, I hadn't a clue as they were on very different time zones than mine. 

Is there something I have to do to get the PM system's timezone to line up with the user's profile?

Thanks,

Jennie

Interesting... I wonder if we have missed something there or something has been knocked.
I will investigate and if we have an issue we will get it fixed up for the next update of the plugin.

I just updated my simple:press to 5.2.2 and I see the wrong timezone for me in both your forum and the one I am building. This appears to still be a bug. (Unless you meant something like version 6.0).

whats your profile timezone set to?

please pass more info since we cannot replicate currently...  have you tried it on a new private message?

and to be clear, the post was referring to the next version of the pm plugin... so please be sure you are running 1.5.2...
