Timezone issue in the gameroom

Hi,
my timezone is set to be Paris' zone (that should be Central Europe Summer Time), but the time shown in the gameroom has an hour offset compared to the real time here. Can I do something to get my real time back ? It is going to be a problem with the forthcoming scheduled games (for this week I'm fine with playing the game with Omar as set).
Thanks
Jean

I am in the same Time zone as you (as it is most of Europe) and it works perfectly fine (as a matter of fact it always has), there must be something wrong with your settings.

Thanks Arimabuff. It used to work perfect for me as well, just noticed this problem yesterday. But what can I do ? Should I try to change my contry in the settings to balance this 1 hour shift ? I can't see anything else to do ...

Jean your timezone offset is showing GMT+1, but the current timezone offset is supposed to be GMT+2.
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=195
So I suggest changing the timezone on your computer and then adjust the time to what it is supposed to be. Then restart your the browser and login to the gameroom. It is important to restart the browser because when you change the timezone on the computer the browser does not automatically pick it up; seems to only check it when it is stared.
When you login to the gameroom it uses the timezone reported by your browser to set your GMT offset.
This is a good site for checking the time around the world:

Hope this fixes the problem.

Great, thanks a lot ! Sorry for the bothering, I'm feeling a bit stupid  (didn't know that the time could be right while the timezone is wrong)
