Is anyone else's post timestamps incorrect?

I have my correct TZ set in my profile's control panel (Mountain), but all posts display as occurring one hour earlier.

I am guessing it has to do with Arizona not changing to Daylight Time like most of the country.

Yeah, it's wacky for some people since I have the default set to AZ.

You can alter it in your profile to be correct.

Understood, that explains it. I’m jealous of you Arizonans; not a fan of DST. Thanks!

Is this still an issue?

I hadn't noticed any discrepancies for a while, but this evening I've noticed that the site time is an hour off local time. My profile is set to GMT Western Europe

Just go into the control panel and adjust your time zone. You have to do that twice a year when the USA changes from standard time to daylight time and back.

Yes, the Forum doesn't have automatic Daylight Savings Time so it's sort of annoying for part of the year.

eBay is like that too.

Or just change it, I have to do that for a number of other forums.

I also have to do that on the VDO clock in my Beetle.
