Thanks. But did both and still don't see it. Is there a standard time zone FT is set to? If I know that, I'll at least be able to work backwards to figure out local time.

Thanks again. But I'm on Pacific time also and the time I see is quite different from Pacific.

I'm having the same issue as the OP. But contrary to helpful responses' advice, when I go into My Flyertalk I don't see any settings/edit option, so I can't change the FT time to my local time.. FWIW, I'm logged in. Am I missing something or has the system changed? Anyway, any further advice? Thanks.

Have tried a few times to set the time to GMT via MyFlyerTalk edit options but would not save. Just seen post #18 and tried that and the time finally changed to GMT.

I set the time zone to Central Time and DST Correction to Automatically detect, but the most recent post in a forum is almost one hour ahead of present (in the Central time zone and with my computer set to Central time). For now, I have set the Time Zone to Mountain Time, but it seems like setting the time zone correctly should cause the post time to be displayed correctly. Is there some other setting I should use?
