Is it just me or are the posting times off an hour (ahead)?

Here in the USA, most states changed their day light saving time...

You can go into "My Profile - Change Options" and adjust the time. I had to go from -6 to -7 to get the correct time to display.

Here is what the time setting comment says about offsets:

Time Zone : All times shown are (GMT -7) unless you change it here.
NOTE : Daylight savings is not calculated in the time offset.

Or just wait 6 months and will be right again!

I do think it's a DLS issue, but I would think it would be an website admin task to change it. For me, your post shows 12:47 when it was posted at 11:47 EST.

Don't forget there is Central, Mountain and Pacific just to name a "few" of the many time zones out there.

More sophisticated forum software will automatically adjust the time... This software apparently isn't one of them.
