Forum time?
Don't know if its me or the forum but posts are appearing with the time of post marked at an hour ahead of the actual time.

Re: forum time?
It's probably worth checking in your profile what time zone you have set. If you're set to Central European Time (or whatever it's called) you will be one hour ahead.

Re: Forum time?
The forum operates internally on GMT and adjusts what you see according to your local time zone as stated in your profile.

Re: Forum time?
If you are logged out it follows the software default. That was GMT+1 but I have changed it to GMT, which will be wrong in the summer but at least makes sense.

Re: Forum time?
This was bothering me recently until I discovered that the device I was using was not actually logged in as me. It corrected itself after I logged in.
I was going to post about it but discovered just in time that it was a self inflicted problem. That won't be true in every case but at least be warned - it happens as mentioned in Post #6 above. |

Re: Forum time?
You could write a little script to set GMT/BST as appropriate, but it's probably not worth bothering about.

Re: Forum time?
At least if the default is GMT, that is equivalent to Universal Time (UT), which is an international standard used in some circumstances (where time zones are inappropriate).
