Why is the time wrong on the forum?

[Art]

The time is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) by default. You can change it to your local time.

To change your time, click on the "Profile" link at the top of the screen. This brings up a form in which you can change your registration data and change settings on your AsturianUS.org account.

Scroll down to almost the bottom of the screen. There you'll see "Timezone". The setting you choose depends on where you live:

Your Time Zone                   Setting              Your Location
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EET     Eastern European    GMT +2 Hours    Finland, Eastern Europe
CET    Central European      GMT +1 Hours    Western Europe, Sweden, Spain
GMT    Greenwich Mean        none                  United Kingdom, Portugal
AST     Atlantic Standard      GMT -4 Hours      Halifax
EST     Eastern Standard      GMT -5 Hours      NY, DC, Toronto, Montreal
CST    Central Standard       GMT -6 Hours      Chicago, Houston, Winnipeg
MST    Mountain Standard    GMT -7 Hours      Denver, Calgary, Edmonton
PST     Pacific Standard         GMT -8 Hours      LA, San Fransisco, Vancouver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then click on "Submit" to complete the change. Be careful that you don't scroll down from the time you have chosen. Check the time again on the main forum page.

There is so much variation in the start and end of Daylight Savings Time between regions and nations, that the forum can't adjust for DST. This means that the time will incorrect in the summer months. If you're really bothered by the incorrect time, you'll have to set your time an hour less in the summer months.
