INTERMEDIATE SPANISH CONVERSATION – Spanish Join Now!
Tuesday Oct 7 at 9:00 PM

At my time the meeting was at 9:00 but Seba told me that it was at 8:00 hm….
So i came one hour to late. Are there some problems with the time?

Hi Daniel! All times are shown in your own local time zone. So as long as both parties have them set correctly on their profiles, there should not be a problem. We are going to look into more details about your issue though and we will report back here soon. Thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, this is a big issue for me, too, since I am in Tokyo. The system so far seems to be working pretty well, but it’s a little problematic. It would be nice if when I typed in my own time, it also automatically showed me the time that would be for the person I am having the lesson with. That way I could mentally confirm, “Oh yeah, they said it would be 5 pm for them.”

I guess it works like this, but Seba told me that the lesson was at 8 his time. hm. I don´t know, we will see what happends.

This is interesting, I spoke to another tutor from the same area recently and she also had the same problem. See if Jared or Scott can shed any light on it. I’ll alert them to it.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention guys.

Hey guys!! I’ve had this same issue!!! I had scheduled a lesson for 8 PM but at 6:30 it showed the lesson was in 30 minutes…meaning, the clock is wrong on Edufire, at least for my area!!! (By the Way, Buenos AIres, Argentina —> GMT -3)
Somebody please solve this!!!!!

Hi everybody! I have just had the same problem! I had a lesson scheduled at 1 pm my time and when I was about to join the classroom , I checked my emails and my student had written to me saying that she had entered the room and did not see me there. Please help! Thanks!

I don´t know what happends, but it also happend to my google calender, from one day to another all my lessons were 1 hour earlier……..

hm???

I told you ! We are getting crazy !

:-)

Guys!!! Guys!!! Guys!!! I just found out that as off October 19th, Argentina is changing the time to GMT -2!!!! It’s summer saving time….but not yet!!! October 19th!!! MOTHER’S DAY HERE!!!

Sue

Yeah but, todavia they didnt or si?

No, no lo hicieron yet….pero Edufire must have made a pequeñito mistake con la date del change.

Let’s go spanglish!!!! jajajahahaha

Sue

A rope ! A rope ! My kingdom for a rope !

guys, the problem is that news arrived to Europe saying, that for example, people in Argentina were changing the clocks on October 5th . Now it s been confirmed we are changing clocks on 19th. I think that might have created some confussion

It happend again,

You have a Spanish session in 2 hours 16:09 (Vor 2 Stunden)

You’ve got a tutoring session with Joanne in 2 hours.

Just a friendly reminder that your room opens in 90 minutes, and is linked up here:

Can anybody fix this problem please

Hey Barbara. We’re running our timing based on historical assumptions about daylight savings time switches and whatnot. If there have been recent changes made in certain parts of the world they may not be reflected in our system. I guess at this point you’ll have to do the math based on what your part of the world is doing time-wise. We will look into this though and if there’s something we can do about this in the short-term we will. Our apologies for the issues here.

okay I hope you won’t charge my student

Okay let´s try us agian:
Can everybody fill up in their time, please
It would be dificult ;), I know

Now it is 11 am (GMT -3) – Buenos Aires

1. 11 am (GMT -3) – Buenos Aires

What time difference are you from US Eastern time, Barbara?

US Eastern? You mean New York?

Now +1 hour, here is 13:15 and there 12:15.

Your Local Timezone = GMT – 03:00
Mondday, 13 October 2008
13:17:52 / 1:17:52 p.m.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Monday, 13 October 2008
16:17:52 / 4:17:52 p.m.

yes, US Eastern is NY etc.

Remember also that here in the UK we are currently GMT +1 …. due to change in a couple of weeks. Here right now it is: 5:20pm (17:20)

May I suggest something like this: clicky

Thank you

I know the hour and I don’t have problems with that. For instance, I scheduled a lesson on Thursday at 8:30 pm my time (GMT -3), the other person live in California (GMT -7) so difference are just 4 hours, right? (-3-4= -7) So she has to enter the classroom at 4:30 pm, right? (8:30 pm – 4 hours = 4:30 pm) But on her time table it´s shown 3:30 pm, hmmm
Why?

Yes at the moment the issue appears to be mainly with tutors in Buenos Aires. Given that the teaching room opens 30 mins early and remains open for a couple of hours. May I suggest that both you and your student communicate via messages and ensure you’re both there at the same time. :)

I think when we all change our clocks in a few weeks time everything will be resolved.

Hope you have a great lesson! :)

I forgot to ask you Barbara, I don’t believe we have met. Are you 100% happy with the platform and everything? Let me know if you’d like me to go through it with you.

Best wishes

California PDT = GMT/UTC – 08:00 hours.

PDT is “daylight savings time” in the Pacific U.S. coastal region.

PDT will be changing to “standard time” in a few weeks. LOL
