Fun bug probably related to timezones and daylight savings.

If I go to add a new task for sunday, then it gets added successfully, but set to saturday. For example, any format for fast add ("my new task sunday", "my new task ^sun", etc) will add a task for saturday. If i look at the date for the task, it's set to saturday. If i try changing this to sunday, it says it's changed, but it still set to saturday!

The problem i'm sure is related to time zones and daylight savings. I am in Buenos Aires, and on saturday night midnight the clocks go forward an hour. So i'm guessing there's some problem on the system with setting the task for 00:00 sunday morning, then getting adjusted with -1 hour, and thus getting added on saturday. Or something like that.

As a side note... i really think you guys should consider a much simpler way of submitting bugs. I know the forum isn't the right place, but to submit a bug I had to click a dozen or so links - About > Contact > contact form > submit support query > expand a topic > find the link 'submit new issue' > select 'different issue' > submit new report.... and THEN, after all that, i'm greeted with a rediculously complex form to fill in!

That's a lot of work for me to submit a bug to you guys. Just gimme a text box to submit and i'd be much more inclined to give feedback and bug reports!

Hi there,
This is on our list to investigate. As a workaround, you could set your task to be due at 1 AM on Sunday.

Also, this forum is just fine for discussing something like this. :)
