I am getting the following error showing up in the error log:

file: /simple-press/forum/profile/forms/sp-form-overview.php
line: 79
function: Unavailable
Notice | date_default_timezone_set() [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID ‘UTC 0’ is invalid

Is this a problem?

I looked there because just briefly as I entered the forum the words ‘Database Error’ came up in big letters on the top of a blank screen without any further reference or text.

shouldnt be a problem like you say – might be left over from issue while back… but can you go to your sp profile, options, display options and select your proper timezone?

and what have you selected for your timezone on your sp profile? the
options tab, display options menu…
