Timestamps incorrect: 1 hour ahead of actual

Thanks for making a great tool for Scouting! I notice what seems to be a bug.

Timestamps on comments in “Application Notes” in “Application Summary” in “Membership Manager” (aka “Application Manager”) are 1 hour ahead of the actual time. E.g. the app reports that 7:50 AM is 8:50 AM. This is true in e.g. Nova Scotia, but false in my timezone (EDT; Boston time) and everywhere else in the United States. 8:50 AM would be UTC-3 at time of writing, and no US states or territories observe a time zone of UTC-3.

To reproduce:

  1. Sign in to my.scouting.org
  2. Click on “Menu” in top left
  3. Click on “Application Manager”
  4. In the “Application Status” table, find an application
  5. Click on it to load the “Application Summary” view
  6. In the “Application Notes” area at right, post a new comment
  7. Notice the timestamp is 1 hour in the future, e.g. posting at 8:27 AM shows as 9:27 AM

I wonder if the bug is related to daylight savings time, or perhaps an incorrect server timezone / locale setting.

Thank you!)

I can also reproduce this bug on my smartphone, i.e. on the mobile website, using Firefox 129 on Android 14 (both current as of writing) on Pixel 8 Pro.

This bug has confused me in the context of my Pack’s onboarding processes. Thanks for your help fixing it – please let me know if more information would help!

Best regards,
Eric

@EricWeitz this is best to turn into your council so they can turn in a Membercare Ticket - that is the only way that team takes stories
