Piers upgraded the forum software today, so I guess this is just a hangover from that. I will check with him in the morning. Thanks for pointing it out.

It's still an hour ahead so I'm assuming it's a ploy to counteract Somerset Time for everyone waiting on the factory to deliver.  ;)

Can some of our non-UK forum users please report if the time at the top of the forum and attached to forums posts is correct or out by an hour please?

I am showing my correct U.S. Central Daylight Time, so since that is set via a fixed offset of -6 hours, that would indicate that forum time has advanced an hour to Summer Time  (hope that makes sense).

It's only 3 days till it will be right though, isn't it  -  or are you concerned it will automatically advance another hour on Sunday?

Edit: the time stamp on this post is also my correct Daylight Saving Time.

All posts that I see are now dated "GMT Standard Time".

I went into my profile and the timezone was set to -5 (not correct, should be -4). I clicked on "Auto detect" and the forum responded "NaN" (not a number).

I think there's something seriously borked w/ the date/time functions in the forum software.

Edit: this post was dated 1 hour ahead. Reverting back to the incorrect -5.

Edit Edit: I changed the date display format and now the dates look reasonable.
