Hello 
,
I’ve encountered a strange issue related to time display in the discussion posts when using a custom timezone in production.
In both LMS and CMS settings, I set:
TIME_ZONE = "Asia/Manila"
CELERY_TIMEZONE = "Asia/Manila"
After making this change, I’ve noticed that when I create a post or reply in discussions, the timestamps are not correct. For example:
After this change, whenever I create a new discussion post, the timestamp shows as “7 hours ago” instead of something like “just now”.
- A newly created post shows “7 hours ago” instead of “just now.”
- Sometimes, even after making a reply or referencing a post, the displayed time seems to go backward — from “7 hours ago” to “6 hours ago”, like it’s shifting in reverse.
However, if I revert the settings back to:
TIME_ZONE = "UTC"
CELERY_TIMEZONE = "UTC"
Everything works correctly and the time displayed reflects the actual post time.
Has anyone else experienced this issue when using a non-UTC timezone like Asia/Manila?
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
