Believe it or not, I just happened to notice post timestamps are an hour off from my current time (GMT -5). I just checked to ensure central Indiana is on GMT -5, and it is (-4 with DST), so this leaves the server clocks being off.

Not that it's critical, but is there a reason why the option isn't enabled? I'm pretty sure Canada also observes it.

Thanks for reading.

I am posting this at 15:53 UK time (currently GMT+1 due to DST).

--edit--

The timestamp on the post is 2:54 pm, so it looks like you have to apply it manually.

The forum does not. It's something that annoys me to no end.

Someday we'll upgrade to phpbb 3 (it's not a priority), which supports DST.

If you want to see posts in the correct time, go here and change your time zone to -4 (if you're in EDT). You'll have to change it back in the fall.
