Ever since the weekend (when the U.S. put their clocks back) the messages on the forum are showing the wrong time for me. They're all one hour ahead.
On my machine I have my time zone set to GMT+1 with auto daylight savings time (and my clock is correct) and on the forum I have my local time set to GMT+1.
It seems to me that the forum has daylight savings auto-adjust turned off.
Look at the most recent messages in this forum and see if they're an hour in the future and then vote in the poll.

Hmm that's strange, it should be right with your settings. The best I can suggest is to play around with the "Auto correct DST?" option, either checked or unchecked to get the correct time.

It's a long shot but did you try refreshing the board index after playing with the auto DST setting? According to the note adjacent to the setting, it says the time is updated after the index is reloaded.

My forum time is 6 hours behind UK time (GMT since the clocks were put back).According to the Board settings it should be GMT-5hrs.Before they were put back,I did notice that the forum time fluctuated by 1 hour on a number of days.It did puzzle me but it does not bother me.

I had the DST box checked, and was getting the wrong time etc. so I unchecked and then rechecked the box and now all is accurate!
