Alex i think maybe the fourm softwere is not adjusting for daylight saving time. How do i know ? I post at 10:42 am MDT have the timezone set for -0600 that's the offset during daylight savings. It posts it as 11:42 am. I change the offset to -0700 non daylight saving it posts at the right time. Not sure if this can even be fixed with the new ds rules put in places in 2008.

I just adjust the times for the UK in GMT +/-0 or +1 where necessary to compensate. Not a major problem for me really.
