tried playing with that before, it changes the time but not the time zone.
ie: still displays CET not GMT

Just thought i'd add, the time and zone are correct in the phpbb but not in news articles

I guess the only thing i can change is

Code:

define("_DATESTRING","%A, %B %d @ %T %Z");

but i dont see how i can change it to GMT

Yeah lots of people asking, no answers
funny that most seem to have GMT and want something else.

From what i've read it's a bit of a php problem in that it want's the sever location as it's time base.
Strange that phpbb gets it right

I changed my timezone by modifying theme.php

just added
putenv("TZ=YOUR_TIMEZONE_HERE");

at the beginning (after <?php ) of theme.php

Some different TZ's are here: http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzref.tzc

mine was: putenv("TZ=Pacific/Honolulu");

I'm guessing you'd put:
putenv("TZ=GMT");

HTH,
