Please check your clock it appears it is not correct. It appears to be 1 hour out

Check your settings on the forum you may well still be on summer time.

Yes, use User Control Panel > Board Preferences and review Summer Time/DST is in effect setting.

Is Daylight Saving Time handling not supposed to be automatic? Having said that, I have had serious issues with one of the boards I use - WDYTYA I think - that were eventually cured by me doing the equivalent of the suggestions above. It is also possible that I never noticed if the clock was an hour out!

Issues like this were avoided on "my" mainframe by us shutting down for just over the hour of the clock change-over. In fact, there wasn't much point in staying up as nobody wrote train schedules to change time-zone in mid-run. A schedule normally stepping from 01:50 to 02:10 couldn't be altered to step from 01:50 to 01:10 - or rather, it could, but the system assumed that the leg took 23h 20m.

At they very bottom right of these pages it says All times are UTC or Coordinated Universal Time that is the same as Greenwich Mean Time for UTC Time Zone zero Western European Time.

You can adjust your time zone in the User Control Panel > Board Preferences.

I think Jane usually switches the FHUG time to Daylight Saving Time (DST)/British Summer Time (BST) and back to UTC at about the right dates to satisfy most countries, so you don't need to adjust your Board Preferences.

It is difficult for a website like FHUG to be totally automatic, because the changeover dates vary slightly in different countries. Althought, maybe they are determined by the time zone and could be automatic. It depends on whether that feature has all been built into the Forum/Wiki package design.

Ah - another behind-the-scenes bit of work we don't realise.
