That particular block I believe uses your established server time for determining how the guest/user is greeted. The following formula is applied:

global $user, $userinfo, $cookie;
      cookiedecode($user);
      $urname = $cookie[1];
      $date = date ("H");
      if ($date < 11) {
      $gr = ""._CZ_GOODMORNINGUSER."$urname\n";
      } else if ($date < 17) {
      $gr = ""._CZ_GOODAFTERNOONUSER."$urname\n";
      } else if ($date < 23) {
      $gr = ""._CZ_GOODEVENINGUSER."$urname\n";
      } else {
      $gr = ""._CZ_GOODMORNINGUSER."$urname\n";


You should check your reported server time to ensure that it is properly reporting the time and date.

Some modules use a different method that allows you to set the time and date in the block, such as this example (taken from the "Protector" Site Info Block)

// calculate server date/time
if ($CONF['showServer'] || ($CONF['showServerAdmin'] && $CONF['is_admin'])) {
   $server_time = date("j F Y\nH:i:s T");
   $zone        = date("Z")/3600;
   if ($zone >= 0) {
      $zone = "+".$zone;
   }
    $block_foot =  '<hr noshade="noshade" /><div align="center">'
        . _PSSERVDT . ": <br />$server_time (GMT $zone)</div><br />";
} else {
    $block_foot = '';
}


This allows you to adjust your clock accordingly (in case your server is in a totally different place and time than you want it to be).

If you get really frustrated with it, you can always just change the messages (listed in the first part of this post) to "Welcome" which takes the whole time/date thing right out of the picture.

If you use that last section of code I listed in your existing block code, be sure to define the _PSSERVDT in your language file as "Server Date/Time:".

As so many users fail to adjust their time (to what the server time is) in their "Your_Account" properties, 99% of the time, they will see the wrong message, especially if they are in a substantially different timezone from the server. That's why mine just says, "Welcome".

Hope that helps!

Hey I like the idea of just changing all of the enteries to Welcome
If I change the

$gr = ""._CZ_GOODMORNINGUSER."$urname\n";

to

$gr = ""._CZ_Welcome."$urname\n";

I get

WelcomeGeorge it doesnt have a space or new line which ever it needs.

You need to open your language file and creaete a new entry:
define("_CZ_Welcome","Welcome ");


Or you can simply find the others in your language file and change all of the second quote parts to "Welcome "

IE... define("_CZ_GOODMORNING","Welcome ");
etc.... Thus, you wouldn't have to change any of the code itself, just the language definitions.
