Does the forum no longer adjust itself for DST? I just posted in the "What did you buy" thread and it was timestamped 9:54 PM, but it was 10:54 PM when I posted it (US Eastern Time).

Do I have to go in my forum settings and set myself to GMT-4 during DST and remember to switch it back to GMT-5 when we exit DST in November, now? Or just accept that timestamps in the forums in DST will be off by an hour?

Not a huge deal, but a possible technical issue with the forum being brought to attention...

At the top of the page go to "Forum", then "Forum Settings" under "Your Account". Scroll down & you'll change it under "Preferences".

I have to change it twice a year as Victoria also has daylight savings.

I'll just live with it being an hour off, then... I know I would forget to change it each time and it isn't a huge deal.. just surprised it didn't auto-adjust for it.

Unfortunately the forum does not adjust automatically to DST.
