Betty LaRue Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The UK is 5 hours ahead of my time zone. I assumed if I completed an upload no later than 6:59 pm my time, say, Monday, (11:59 UK time, it would show Monday's date on Alamy. I uploaded before 6:59 on the 14th, yet date of upload appeared as 15th. . Or....does Alamy shut down at 5pm UK time, noon my time, and anything I upload after noon rolls over date wise to the following day? It's messing with my mind. The upload in question didn't pass until late mid-afternoon today, and I'd resigned myself to a fail, since the ones before that passed in less than 24 hours. Since I uploaded on the 14th, it felt like too much time had passed for a QC pass. Don't you just hate that feeling? Checking every hour and saying, "Yup,yup, fail for sure". But hanging on to a thread of hope. And don't say it. If I didn't fail occasionally, I wouldn't have to be worried. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The time difference is just 4 hours right now. They have not gone on Daylight Savings yet. http://24timezones.com/world_directory/current_london_time.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I would look for Kerala Time for anything to do with servers and database refresh. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma, as of today, is 5 hours different than OK according to a website. Kerala?? Is that India? Ok, yes it is. Wow, huge time difference. Evening here, dawn there, midnight in the UK.

spacecadet Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Europe adopted a uniform summer time date some years ago, and they used ours. Last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October. Jolly useful map, Ed. Interesting how variable the use of summer time is around the world- none in China, only some states in Australia, and Putin has recently abolished it in Russia. But then that guy could probably get away with abolishing Tuesday if he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I think the date is only crucial if it applies to a news image. I think it's what you put in the IPTC date that counts for the upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 We went on daylight savings time last weekend. I wish the powers that be would leave it there year around. My main question wasn't whether the date of upload mattered to Alamy, but for my own understanding of the date of upload that appears in My Alamy.. Why, if I upload on 16/03/14 it appears on My Alamy as 16/03/15. If that is determined by Kerala, India time, then I understand. Their "next day" starts many hours before my next day does.

Phil Robinson Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 As far as I'm concerned it is the UK day and time. I often upload in the evening, after office hours, and at the weekend and I always get the right date. However, I've never done it at 11pm or 1 in the morning so I can't be sure.
