Q2a. How do I get website to auto set correct time zone for each member? ( DST Offset)
Q2b. If their is no auto option will my members see my website platform name (Joomla or Jomsocial) if I give them the ability to update?
1. Browse to Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Layout and set "Lapsed" in Activity Stream Date Style

2. Time zone for website is set in Joomla!. You may set default time zone. User may also set timezone for own account but this can be done ONLY in Joomla! user account (not in JomSocial):

So to do that you must grant your members access to Joomla! account (profile) in frontend. There is no option in Joomla! to set time zone automatically (because basing on what parameter this should be made?) Only default time zone could be applied automatically to a user.
3. Only if user set own timezone - different than default one - date will be corrected.
4. This is not dependent from time zone setting. This is just site title.
- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.
