Calendar Bug
I've reported this bug (at least I think it's a bug, because I can't find anything in settings to explain it - if I'm doing something wrong, I would appreciate knowing that!) a number of times to http://help.obsidianportal.com/ - now I'm wondering if I should report it here as well.
In simple terms, when I use the Calendar to tell people about my next session, the time displayed for the session on the calendar is always an hour different from the time I inputted. For example, I just set up a Calendar entry for my next game of 7pm - and the calendar displays 6pm.
If I was just running a local game, this would be a much more minor issue, but as I am using OP to try and coordinate players around the world for an online game, I need to know the time and calendar is reliable. This issue - and the complete lack of progress in seeing it being addressed is the one that is making me quite likely to leave OP after years of paying for Ascendant membership (The email issue was also one that was annoying, but that seems behind us). I don't expect the issue to be fixed instantly - but I was left with the real impression that even though I've reported this a few times now, those reports might not have actually got to where they should have until several reports had been made - and then the issue was closed without comment when it had not been addressed. It's still happening.

Campaign of the Year - 2018
I appreciate the attempt to help but I have checked this. And I have asked in the past whether there is somewhere else where a timezone might be relevant.
For half the year the time displayed on the calendar is an hour too early. For the other half of the year it is an hour too late. To me, that strongly suggests it's a bug somewhere in wherever daylight savings time is being offset.

Good luck!

I submitted a bug report to that site nearly a year ago - I've linked to it in the first post in this discussion. It took over six months (and me bringing it up again) before that original bug report even got acknowledged by anybody who seems to have been involved with OP. The thing got closed a couple of months later without being addressed. That's why I've decided to post here in an effort to try and get things fixed.
Honestly, whoever is running OP seems to have real issues in addressing these issues or even acknowledging that they exist.
