I got a update that it will be most likely after General Conference.

For now, consider making the "all day" events something like 2AM to 10PM. Not ideal, but it seems like it might be the least hassle overall.

24th September - just checked again and it's still an issue in the UK.
I'm trying to do the right thing by using this calendar...

I'm glad I found this post, as I wondered if there were others running into the same problem. Sounds like there's several Stake Exec Secs (like me) trying to get all-day events plugged in for next year.

The software is undergoing a re-write and is expected to roll out this month. But times can slip.
It is now October 2 and no fix is apparent. Any updates? Struggling to get the stake calendar done with these issues.

This has been a problem for nearly 10 years. I do not expect that it will be fixed. I think they are hoping the new software being written will handle it.

In the meantime, I would suggest that you set your "all day" events to run from 3:00 am to 10:00 pm.

I posted a follow-up message that indicated it would be some time after General Conference. As such, unless there's another delay (quite possible), I'd expect the new software soon.

I was doing some scheduling today and for a recurring meeting on every 2nd Sunday, it showed the correct time of 7 pm for January, February, November and December. For March through October, it showed 6 pm. I manually changed 6 pm to 7 pm for the months March through October.

I also noticed that for an all day event, or for those that a time hasn't been chosen yet, and I needed to add them as an all day event until we know more specifics, it sets it for 3 days! So I had to add a start and end time for all of those activities but will update them once more details are available. Also, for YM Camp, it added a day before and a day after the camp dates. So, I had to add a specific start time for the first day and an ending time for the last day of camp and then it showed the specific days of camp.

russellhltn, is it September yet? I see you mentioned that a new calendar system was due to come out. Hopefully it will work well no matter what time zone anyone is in!

Your fix may have made things worse. In the past, it appears the software records the time correctly in the database, but when it goes to display, it only uses the current time zone for everything instead of checking to see what events are Standard and which are Daylight. You might want to double-check times after November 6th when DST ends. However, I'd hope the new software would be in place by then.
