Warning: mktime() [function.mktime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for '-8.0/no DST' instead in D:WEBSITEindigoamppapache-2.2.11htdocsincclassesBxDolTemplate.php on line 298

Usually this is to be added to your servers php.ini file.

Most php.ini files that contain the best settings for dolphin will be set like this.

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
safe_mode = Off
allow_url_include = Off
allow_url_fopen = On
register_globals = Off
upload_max_filesize = 1000M
post_max_size = 2000M
memory_limit = 512M
max_input_time = 30000
max_execution_time = 30000
short_open_tag = On
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = On
date.timezone = "America/New_York"

thanks that fixed a lot of errors. and i got my pages back.

before i was getting mysql errors in blog posts from spammers and when i deleted members (spammers) i will have to wait and see what happens when they spam again. but for the most part i got my forums/groups/events/logon/signup/logoff pages back.
