time incorrect - daylight saving issue?
Displayed time is an hour ahead today. I assume it is due to USA start of daylight saving on Sunday (it is already Sunday here).

It is now Sunday 9 March 2014 on the west coast of the USA, where Internet Brands servers are located.
Time is showing as 11:20 AM PDT

It seems this is currently not an issue, at least here.

GMT+8 but not exactly...
Just made a post and noticed the displayed time was off by an hour. This is the first time that happened to me.
I am on TPE time now (Nov 5, 2017 10:21) but FT shows 9:21.
What gives?

I've got incorrect time stamps on posts made over the past week.
The UK went from GMT+1 to GMT on Sunday 29 October. The time stamp at the bottom of each page now correctly refers to the GMT time.
However, this post - Avios redemption on open jaw multiticket - is showing for me as having been made on Saturday 4 November at 5:02 pm. That time is incorrect, because the post was made at 4.02 pm GMT.
What I can't now tell is whether the post was showing the correct time when I made it yesterday, because it's not the sort of thing I normally check! But there does seem to be an issue related to the changes from daylight saving time in the northern hemisphere.

Yes, please, but that setting is already correct.
I have, however, just discovered that the "DST Correction Option" was set to "always off" (and I have now changed it to "Automatically detect". I'm not sure that can be the complete answer to what happened, though, because prior to our time change from GMT+1 to GMT, I was seeing timestamps correctly set at GMT+1.
Other than posts during the week between European time change weekend and American time change weekend, I think everything seems correct.
