Crap, I thought it was Thursday.

Google Calendar Help, or, what day is it again?

Google calendar consistently highlights the wrong day. I have enough trouble keeping track of time without thinking it's Thursday all day on Wednesday.

According to google's help section, I updated the settings in google calendar to my appropriate time zone (Pacific) , and double-checked the time zone on my computer. They matched. I tried both selecting and de-selecting 'automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes' and all that did was make the clock wrong on my computer.

Since none of the suggested fixes worked, can you help?

Best answer: This is going to seem like a silly question, but: What is the date that is currently set on your computer?

Mine is always correct - there are location/time settings in the google calendar settings too.

I can't even get mine to highlight the wrong day.

Baffling. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the page?

To follow up on my question, the reason I asked is that the only way (and I tried quite a few possibilities) I can get my Google Calendar to highlight the wrong day is by changing my computer's date to the wrong day.

Response by poster: I'm at work and it's my home computer that's causing the problem - keep the theories coming and I'll check it out tonight. Thanks all!

Response by poster: Well, this is embarrassing.

Somewhere along the way, the date got changed on my computer. I was so fixated on time zones that I missed that entirely.

Thanks, cerebus19!
