Looks like the forum's clock is an hour fast. I guess it thinks it's DST already.

Yep. Even checked my user prefs, and it's PST there. Definitely off.

In PHPBB3, DST is a manual toggle :roll:

Should be showing the correct time now. At least until DST happens again.

You can also change it from your own user page.

Nope, I just sent this at 7:01am, and it's showing as 8:01, even though my personal settings are for PST. I'd have to change not just daylight/standard but timezone to get it synchronized, it seems.

It says 7:01am for me, so maybe your personal settings are overriding? You can try setting "Summer Time/DST is in effect:" to no. Or just ignore it...

Yeah, it looks like one's "Board preferences" also need to be adjusted manually. Weird. Annoying.

Ugh! Okay, this one's bit me before. I see that dropdown that clearly shows "Pacific Standard Time," and assume that's what it means. Eyes didn't scan down to the next setting on the page, which is the manual toggle. Sorry for the confusion. :oops:
