I saw this at the bottom of the forum:
Current timezone is -5 Mar 24, 2016 5:28:10 AM Due to daylight saving time, the time zone is supposed to be -4 as I am in upstate New York. |

If you are logged out, the time shown is in offset to the UTC/GMT time. If you're logged in it follows whatever time zone you entered in the My Forum profile, BUT, you still have to manually adjust twice a year for the DST change [if you choose to]. There's no automatic adaptation.

We still get to read all 11+ years of posts as historic reference e.g.) [Edit 1 times, last edit by SekeRob* at Mar 24, 2016 10:40:49 AM] |

Strictly speaking, your timezone (a geographical region) is correctly still defined as having a standard time of UTC-5, but your local time is UTC-4 because of daylight saving time. No, this doesn't help with the forum's deficiency over DST!
