It is that time of year again. WP has lost the plot regarding time zones. Everyone's posts are one hour in the future.

The temporary fix is for everyone in the World (except America) to set their time zone incorrectly by one hour until the Americans catch up and put their clocks forward too, then everyone will be back in sync again.

Sigh!

(I just posted this at 2:40 pm Paris time, but WP says I posted it at 3:40 pm - one hour in the future).

I believe a few more months must pass before another "spring ahead" happens, but my wife says we will again "fall back" next week.

WP was designed when Standard time was still on October 29th. It changed in 2007 to the First Sunday in November. WP is not only a time machine, but is out of time

It wouldn't be a very good time machine if it couldn't make more before it runs out :wink:
