Hi,  
In my application I have to correct the time stamp on event  
discussion posts. Perhaps they are not observing DST? In any case, they  
are slow by one hour.  
how to do this ? I have following type of code :-

\<%= frmt\_note\_date(message.created\_on) %\> at  
\<%=  
display\_formated\_time(user\_timezone\_dateTime(message.created\_on,‘fmt\_in\_dateTime’).split(’  
at ').last)  
%\>

above code shows me:- 9/08/2008 at 4:32 AM

Shouldn’t it be created\_at? There’s nice time\_zone support in Rails  
2… is it 2.1? Not too sure. What’s your version?
