Are you aware that the Board time is off by an hour? Could you change it, it really messes me up.

You can change the time zone in your profile, as well as set whether or not it's daylight savings time. Which we just had. Which is probably why you're an hour off.

See, I was complaining about this a few days ago. I logged out and the forum time was an hour behind. After looking in the admin panel, there is no setting for DST. All it asks is "GMT-?", basically. Eastern time is typically GMT-5, however, during DST, it's -4. So... if I have it set to GMT-5, any visitor without an account will see the time as one hour incorrect.
As of right now, on the admin panel, I have it set to the default as GMT-4, which is what Eastern becomes during DST. In my personal settings (not the admin panel), I have it set to GMT-5 as my time zone AND there is an option for whether or not DST is in effect. So, by telling it "yes", it turns my GMT-5 into GMT-4. If that doesn't make sense, I don't know what else to say. My time is correct now regardless of whether I'm logged in or not.

Arizona, as well as non US countries, don't observe DST, so the option has to be for specific members.
I learned that Arizona doesn't observe DST from when I played KoL, because rollover's time didn't change when the time changed, because the creators lived in Arizona.

But since when do other countries matter? :-p
Either way, the boards' official time zone is Eastern, which is GMT-4 at the moment. I *think* I've got it right. Anything further seems to be people needing to set DST in their own settings.
