FT doesn't know what time it is
I just double checked and my account is still set to Central time. Yet, within the last few days, I've noticed that the time stamp on posts seems to be Mountain time. For example, I recently saw "new posts" with time stamps around 8:20 am despite the correct time in Chicago being around 9:20 am.
Could FT be using an out-of-date date for the start of daylight savings time? Or using the date when daylight savings time starts in some other country, perhaps in the EU?

Otherwise, the time display is correct on my devices and we're not seeing other reports of that - so it's certainly not FT-centric other than the http issue.
