is the AZ forum in Halifax time zone? Everything I post is one hour ahead of my east coast clock. Or am I the one who is warped?

Is the timezone set correctly in your User CP? I have mine set to "(GMT -5:00)" and the DST Correction Option set to "Automatically detect DST settings" and the time is correct for me..

Most forum software doesn't handle switching between DST and normal (EST for me) time very well. It must be done manually, in the profile.

edit: Maybe vBulletin does it better then phpBB, not sure...

It's in the top menu bar, or click here: User CP

To be clear with the settings above I didn't need to change anything when the time changed. It was seem less...
