I have only just noticed this - hopefully it hasn't been going on for a long time (mainly because people do copy dates etc on family trees when smart matching is emailed). I have checked a few people to make sure it's not just happening with one person. I have attached a screenshot of my great grandfather showing his exact dates of birth, death and residence.

As you can see - the first one is my entry in Reunion. The other attachmement is what shows on GenealogieOnline.nl and in there the date of birth has moved back a day, his residence has moved back a day. His death day is exactly as I have entered it.
I checked on MyHeritage and Geneanet.org - both show exactly what I have entered. I don't have my tree on any other website. I then googled to see if an answer was there. This is the resulting reply:
"This issue is almost certainly caused by a time zone offset during the import of your GEDCOM file, where Genealogie Online is converting a date (eg 5 May) into UTC time, shifting it back by one day (4 May). Since this is not happening on MyHeritage or Geneanet, the issue lies in how Genealogie Online interprets your local computer's time zone settings compared to the dates in your file during the import process."
I looked on Reunion for help within the app itself, but could see nothing to alter to avoid this happening. I have no idea how long this has been happening for, but would really like this to not happen and how to fix this. Yes I can contact GenealogieOnline but the owner Bob Coret never answers my messages on there or on his Facebook profile. I put my issue on their forum but so far no answers.
This date being incorrect and some correct for one person is really a big problem - people copy and if they see one date as correct (if they had that already), then they may trust my other dates for that person to be correct (not everyone checks the sources I have). They then enter those wrong dates and voila.... it's all over the internet faster than a plague! It can't be a problem with my app or computer because it is only happening on one website - just hoping someone else using GenealogieOnline might have had this issue - or maybe someone using it can check if their dates are doing the same.
To clarify or, if it makes a difference - which to me doesn't seem a valid reason - I am in New Zealand and genealogieonline is in Netherlands. But.... geneanet.org is in France and MyHeritage in USA so this surely cannot be the reason for the date to move back for some and not other dates.
Thanks in advance.
