I rarely pay attention to the time. and how does the forums handle countries and U.S. states (and areas of U.S. states) that do not have daylight saving time? I guess they have to manually adjust it to the "wrong" time zone.

Most sites that handle this well, do it by having a seperate time zone for such things, and the site does the work figuring out when DST should or should not be in various time zones, having a seperate correct time for each time zone (as needed) rather than all calcs based on GMT.

Last Sunday was daylight savings time in California. Luckily my computer automatically resets the time.

Is this why LoA has managed to post at 3:01 even though it is still only 2:40 according to my forum time?

It doesn't seem like a year since I made that remark about the earth's rotation slowing.

I spend entirely too much time here. . I'm saying the same thing year after year.

Are we all becoming that predictable?

Perhaps we don't need to post any more. At any given time, we can just have a bot repost what we posted on the same date a year ago

quote: Originally posted by Skanky Burns In Australia DST actually ended yesterday, and I have a sneaking suspicion that by setting the clock back here means I am now an hour behind due to Poly's clock changing as well...

Only those parts of Australia that are intelligent enough to have daylight saving time...which unfortunately excludes my state.

In any case, I thought summer time in Europe doesn't affect GMT. In other words, if London goes to summer time it would be GMT+1. Is this right?

Technically, yes, but the forum software doesn't make a distinction between GMT and BST, so it's either a central change by Markos/Dan, or a decentral change by everybody. Easy choice

Umm, the clocks went back 7 months earlier than they usually do. Why?

I just saw that the time now is GMT, even though it says it should be GMT +1. I'm 99% sure it wasn't so when I last checked the time, ie when I first posted in this thread?

So I changed my timezone, and now somebody switched the time back again, so now I'm an hour ahead of where I should be.

Somebody is playing silly buggers

Well, something strange is definitely going on now - Finland is GMT+3, but I had to set the forum to GMT+1 to match.

That's right. GMT, or UTC as it is also called, is not affected by Daylight Saving. Everyone in the London time zone just goes from GMT+0 to GMT+1.

This is incorrectly reflected on this Forum, as I've stated lasted year. For example, it now says:

All times are GMT +1 hour. The time now is 08:42.

while actually, my current time (Western Europe) is GMT+2, 08:42.

Quite annoying, for purposes like planning a chat time.
