Daylight Savings/Standard Time
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 4:17 am
Those of us in the US have just experienced the shift from Standard to Daylight time. While I personally think it's another sign of national insanity to so abruptly screw around with the time standards of an entire nation, that's how it's done around here. I'd implement something less jolting, like adding 120 seconds to each day for an entire month, but that's just me.
Anyhow, the point of this pointlessness is to tell you that the Forum software doesn't adjust for Daylight Time, so if you want the times displayed on your monitor to be correct, both on the forum and in the Chat, you'll need to go edit the "Time Zone" portion of your profile to reflect your "current time".
This won't affect International users who haven't made the shift over to "Daylight" or "Summer" Time, or users in the Southern Hemisphere who will be returning from advanced time modes back to standard times. Just you wait, you'll get yours!
