I have noticed that the forum time's when a message was posted tend to shift.. i dont know if its cause of UTC vs Local time VS who knows...
----------------------------------------if there was an easy way so no matter what computer i log onto i can tell relitive time it would be helpfull my sugestion / quick fix (i think) would be to on the forum page to attach a time page loaded (synced with the forum times... again i dont know why the times change but sometimes i see that i posted a message 6 hours in the future and then i refresh the page and its 3 .. or 1 hour ago.. it just keeps changeing... dont know if its something wrong with my setup or not though makes it difuclt to check a page multiple times in the day (on 10 min breaks) and not have to serch to determin how long ago something was posted  [Edit 1 times, last edit by nasher at Aug 13, 2009 4:45:01 PM] |

The shift is between you being logged on and off and log-ins expire after X minutes idle to help you getting confused. Only when logged on will the "my forum profile" value translate your time zone and adapt the posting times accordingly with offset to UTC.

Is it correct that the forum doesn't change to summertime?

No everything is tuned to the fixed UTC which does not know DST. It's your forum profile that steers the correction. You don't have to change it though once set since that correction is automated.

Long as you remember that the techs are 4 or 5 hours behind UTC when seeking help i.e. When it's 08:00AM UTC, it's 10:00 AM to me and 03:00 AM to them, something like that.
----------------------------------------(If you're in Australia, you can even deal with time zones that are shifted in 30 minutes, the only place I've been too dealing with that.)
