Has repeating changed?

crazydesi says:
I have been using Remember the Milk for almost two years now and love the service. I am having a problem with repeating tasks usually. It use to be that when I wrote "repeat every Sunday" that the task would show up on Sunday. Recently the task has begun to show up at the end of the night on Sunday showing that it is due on Monday. Is there a way to get the old functionality back?

Repeating hasn't changed; likely there's something else going on that's affecting your due dates.

If you haven't done so already, would it be possible to submit a Tasks & Lists issue report via our support system?

Please select the issue that you're experiencing from the list on the left, and follow the steps shown. If your issue isn't listed, just click on "I'd like to report a new issue" on the left.

Your report should provide all the info that we need to investigate further, but we'll be in touch via email if we require any more details.

Thanks!

I figured it out. I had to update my time zone. I recently moved after living in the same place for 15 years. Didn't even realize that could be a problem.

Oh, yes, that's what I suspected. 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.

You may find that leaving the tasks alone works in some cases (if possible), but if not, you should be able to reset the due date/time (by entering it the same way again).

If you have any problems with any specific tasks, please submit an issue report (via the link above) and we'll take a look.

Hope this helps!
