Hi

I have the correct time zone setting in my profile but whenever a post is made by anyone, the time shown on it is one hour ahead of my local time. Although it's not really a big problem, it's still annoying. There is no daylight saving where I live. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

If any of the moderators can fix it for me, please do.

It's the same for me - I'm currently on BST (British Summer Time), which is GMT+1, but to get the correct time of posts displayed I need to set the time zone as GMT.
This appears to be a forum software bug so I've tweaked the time zone setting in your profile back one hour which ought to fix it.

Thanks, Cornflake. But is that the only way to fix it? Does that mean that everyone is experiencing the same problem? No one has ever said anything about it. How strange...

Well, apart from fixing the bugs in this version of the forum software or replacing it entirely, which are both somewhat unlikely at the moment - this is a nice cheap fix. :wink:
You'll probably find it will shift again by an hour at some point as whatever state the WP servers are located in changes their clocks over.
So we get to tweak it all over again! :lol:
