[SOLVED] On this forum time is displayed incorrectly for me

I am wondering if I have a setting wrong somewhere or if the time displayed in this forum is possibly not quite right.  After the move from BST to UTC I have seen last post times here which are an hour ahead of the current time as displayed in the UK on all my machines.  My clocks all show the correct time in all my computers in all applications but not in the arch forums. 

Should I be seeing the last update time no later than the current time or am I being naive here?

Thanks

Goto Profiles, select Essentials, unclick "Daylight Savings Time is in effect (advance time by 1 hour).", submit it, profit ! big_smile

Re: [SOLVED] On this forum time is displayed incorrectly for me

I'm in UTC +1 timezone and I get the correct UTC time on my edits.
Check the 'Time and Date' tab in the wiki preferences, it's correct for me:
Server time:    18:41
Local time:    19:41

Server time is the time that's used for wiki edits timestamp - UTC. Local time is the time I have on my watch.

I had to do this too, but ... this is for the forum, not the wiki.

Many thanks Ewaller - that is the solution.   Would be nice to have automatic switch between BST and UTC when the UK switches twice a year - but at least now I know where to change it.

Thanks again.

Karol - it was my brain having a hiccup - I meant of course the forums - I'll edit my post. Thanks for pointing out my error.

OK :-)
Please also edit the thread's title and mark it as solved.
