I setup a sale yesterday, was a one day sale 11/24->11/25. I also setup a banner-sidebox with same start-stop dates, (to draw attention to the sale).

My server is -5hrs, MY offset is -8. I use the following located in
admin/includes/extra_datafiles
and
includes/extra_datafiles

<?php
putenv ('TZ=America/Los_Angeles');
?>

This has been working well for me regarding setting both admin and user time to PST (-8)

Just noticed the salemaker expired at midnight EST, and the banner was still alive, assuming it was respecting the TZ?

Bug? or something I missed?
