    Hi,
    Adding a time zone allows the submitted time to be correct for whatever timezone the WordPress installation is set to. Adding:

    date_default_timezone_set( get_option( ‘timezone_string’, ‘America/New_York’ ) );

    just before
    $time = time();
    on line 2649 of accua-forms.php sets the timezone to the WordPress options setting, with an optional fallback to US east coast (but the default could be anything or nothing).

    Hi,

    time() returns the timestamp as seconds after 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC and doesn’t changes with the timezone settings. $time is used a few lines below with gmdate() to save the date in UTC in the database format.

    I think there it should save the timestamp in UTC; probably I should check that the database saves in UTC correctly and do do the timezone conversion when the data is displayed
