We understand the issue and it has indeed been on our radar for a while. This is a technically simple, but very substantial project. It affects many, many areas of the application.

Couldn't agree more.  In terms of how to do it, not so big a deal.  It's just that it would be EVERYWHERE you look that a change would be needed.

You may be looking at this to closley.  The customer only will see a couple of dates.  ie saved order date and time and the date on order confirmation.  Maybe these could be the areas that get the off date and time off set.

I have done a small change to the batch ship screen where I found the ship date and added 1 day.
 
My date is only correct at 8pm at night and It does cause confusion to the customer.

Thanks


Hi
Suggestion, move to an Aussie based host. Your customers will be rewarded with faster pings and load times. :)

You'll end up one day having an Aussie host, so might as well bite the bullet and do the move. You wont regret it.

As for suggestions on hosts, we use Netlogistics. Great service and good prices. We have a VPS server but the shared servers are also good. Only issue is if U use MSSQL their shared SQL is a little show with too many DB on there as there included in plans.

Thanks RobertZ, but moving hosts is not an option for any of my customers running ProductCart at the moment. Some have been using US based hosting for ProductCart for 5 years now with no issues, only when we have tried Aussie hosting have we ended up with a number of issues, so for now that is not an option to fix the problem.
