The clocks in the UK were put forward an hour on sunday. Maybe it's compensating for that.

I seem to remember this happened before.

the DST shift in the US is this coming Sunday 2005-04-03. i suppose it's different in the UK?

That is strange....it's off by an hour for me as well, and the settings for the forum are correct. I suppose the server's time may be off.

Ditto, but I'm used to that (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10220064): I don't even look at the time any more now, only time differences.

So does the server *ever* display the correct time?

I've simply left my GMT time off by one so that the forum displays the correct time :)

yes its just when daylight saving changes things like this happen. Unfortunately now I am -2hrs what I should be.

well, the DST shift has come and gone and the server's time is still ahead by 1 hour.

How about adding one word to the forum template:All times are GMT...not.or a few words:All times are GMT...plus some arbitrary number of hours.Since when does daylight time affect GMT (and by two hours, no less)?

looks like it's fixed now. reset my prefs back to EDT and the time displays are correct.

Indeed.
