        @drstang I don’t understand this, the code does

        		if (this.config.timezone) {
        			now.tz(this.config.timezone);		
        

        which means it only uses its own config values, not the global config.

        when I set it like this

        		{
        			module: "clock",
        			position: "top_left",
        			config:{
        				displaySeconds:false,
        				timezone:"UTC"
        			}
        		},
        

        it correctly changed the displayed time from 08 (us central time) to 13

        if I set it like this

        	timeFormat: 24,
        	units: "metric",
        	timezone:"UTC",
        	modules: [
        

        it did not change the displayed time (as expected)

          @sdetweil Correction to your statement. timezone is set to null by default. timezone: null, - therefore, that if line would evaluate to false unless you override with timezone config item.

          The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

            @BKeyport correct,

            so a ‘forced’ timezone would not be set

            this is the same code as before.

              This is what I was correcting. ;)

                @BKeyport but he said,

                changing it in the module config did NOT work
                but
                changing it in the GENERAL config DID work…

                and it was NOT set in the original config he was using prior to the upgrade

                  I don’t understand…

                  what I said was

                  this module only adjusts the timezone when

                      config :{ 
                          timezone: '??????',
                      }
                  

                  in its module definition

                  NOT when its set in the global configuration, (before modules defined)

                  timeFormat: 24,
                  	units: "metric",
                  	timezone:"UTC",  <---  added this for testing, value NOT set in module config 
                  	modules: [
                  

                  so I don’t see what you are ‘correcting’

                    @sdetweil thats correct - when I changed timezone from ‘null’ to ‘America/New_York,’ the module did not work at all. When I went into the MM config.js and added the timezone line, it worked.

                    Which now I realize is also a bit frustrating because one of my modules also shows sunrise/sunset times, and thats still off (EST + 4 hrs).

                        correct… as there is no general timezone property
