Tasks are being wacky since yesterday

binaryeric says:
I got onto a plane in the US eastern time zone. While on the plane I added many tasks and had no connectivity. When I departed the plane in the US central time zone and sync'd with RTM, all of the tasks I had created were given a due date of 1 day earlier than I set... if I had set it to be "Due Today" it was now set to Overdue by 1 day (Due yesterday)... If I set it to be due on May 28, it was now May 27th.

I thought it was just a goofy one time occurrence.

Today, I am using the web interface and I am unable to postpone tasks. I can choose one or many tasks, choose "Postpone" and they will all be moved... the confirmation appears at the top stating that they have been postponed.. and then about 2-3 seconds later, they re-appear...

I have attempted to postpone all tasks that are currently overdue... perhaps 6 times and each time it is the same result.

Odd.

Unfortunately RTM doesn't currently support shifting timezones; when a due date is set in one timezone, the task will be due at the start of that day (i.e., midnight) in that timezone. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It sounds like all the tasks you added on the plane were added in CST, thus affecting their display then and later.

What you may want to do is to reset the due date for each affected task; i.e. if it's set to be due "yesterday" you can change it to "today" (or likewise for future due dates); this should allow you to postpone the tasks afterward.

Hope this helps!
