Have you also selected No for Summer Time/DST is in effect? (Just below My Timezone in board preferences)
I think Summer Time/Daylight Saving Time has to be set or unset manually.

It is the FHUG website UTC=DST setting that is wrong.
With all the FH V6 activity Jane has forgotten to set it back to UTC=GMT, despite other postings on the same theme.

Look at bottom righthand corner where it says All times are UTC [ DST ].
That needs changing.

I just used the setting that Lorna mentioned (I hadn't realised it was there) and the UTC=DST at the bottom righthand corner has changed to UTC and the correct time is now being reported. Thanks for that Lorna.

I stand corrected. I'd forgotten about that option.

However I think the site settings still needs updating as per Posting Times (10900).
