I may be over looking something about the latest avcalendar update.

After installing and editing the configuration of the calendar I noticed that the times were all off. I have my site set on Central US and the user I'm logged in with is also central US but the times on the calendar are 6 hours off. If I log out and view the calendar the dates are ok. Log back in with a second user in the Central US and I get dates that are 6 hours off.

I may be missing something here but it looks like the time is being adjusted even if the user time zone is the same as the site time zone.

I just uploaded a beta 2 version today...did you use this version?

The application assumes that all timezones in the database are stored in GMT+0...Upon retrieval they are adjusted to the user's currently configured dnn timezone...if the user is not logged on date/times are displayed in the site timezone (default). 

If you are upgrading from a previous version of the calendar (3.0.10), then make sure the site timezone is set correctly for the events in the database before upgrading (the upgrade will adjust the dates/times based on the site setting).

As a test, try entering a new event (should accept Central TZ as the data entry)...the date/time will be converted and stored in the database as GMT+0.  If you then switch your user timezone...to say, East Coast....then display the event, it should be displayed for east coast time.

Unfortunately my previous post was a little premature.  I am having the same problem.  My server is set to EST, my site is set to EST and the admin account is set to EST.  I login as admin, create an event for 12pm.  If I am logged in as admin all of the times are correct (main calendar, calendar list, event detail view).  If I log out, the main calendar and the calendar list show the event at 4:59pm while the event detail show it at 12pm.  All displayes show that EST is the time zone.

One other thing, the start time in the DB is set yo 5:00pm (GMT) and the timezoneoffset is 0.
