What is the best way to set up your CCK Date's/Sites Date config to avoid timezone issues? (aka. the 1 day off problem)

Postings and comments are owned by their authors. What Boris says here doesn't necessarily apply anywhere else. You can subscribe by email if RSS isn't your bag, baby.
Depends
You shouldn't have the "1 day off" problem if you have the time setting on your server set correctly. Letting every user set their own timezone can be very difficult to use.
Here is the problem everyone
Here is the problem everyone is having:
Step1
1. Add a CCK Date (not datestamp) field to a content type.
2. For Granularity only use Year, Month, and Days.
3. Select list or Jscalendar for your date picker.
Step 2
Create content and make the date something other than today.
Step 3
Navigate to Views
Page : Provide Page view
View Type : Teaser List
Arguments : Select the date you just chose as the argument
Argument Default : Any of the Summary Views will be fine.
Option: Summarize by Day
Now just navigate to the view you just made and see if the link it takes you too is actually the day after or before.
