Inconsistent Found Date for Events

Recommended Posts

The found date for my log of GC97B2Z is not consistent between the website and the “My Finds” pocket query.

The correct date should be 03/26/2021 as shown on the website. However, the “My Finds” PQ has 03/27/2021.

I found similar errors with 7 more logs, all with found dates 2020 and later.

Hello @batman74,

The answer to your issue is within the screenshot you attached; at least for this specific case. You'll see that the PQ shows a timestamp of 2021-03-27T00:00:00Z. That is a UTC timestamp, logging the event time according to what used to be known as Greenwich Mean Time. UTC is commonly used in web applications to represent time, as it can be easily converted to the equivalent time in any time zone. 

This event was held on 3/26/2021 from 5-6 pm Central Standard Time, which is about 6 hours behind the corresponding UTC time at that time of year. Hence the UTC equivalent is 3/27/2021 at midnight. Hope that helps.
