Daylight Savings Time has started for some of us, and the Profile setting for timezone will need to be updated.
Now for some reason, it is messed up so the selection doesn't reflect the correct relationship to the GMT. For example, NJ and other Eastern Daylight Savings time zone should be set to "GMT +5" You'll know you got it right when the posting time stamp shows correct time.

What did you change it to?
I'm trying to decide if I should reset my light timers -- they were originally set up to turn on a little before dawn, then stay on for 16 hrs. So *technically* they are still turning on at about the right "time"... Maybe more like @dawn now.
My WNW window gets no sun during the winter months, but now, the westering/setting sun shines into that window a while, giving the tomato seedlings a bit of sunshine.

To make your Time show the correct time, go into your profile and scroll to the section where it shows to set your GMT Time Zone. I'm on the East Coast so my setting is -4 hours. If your on Central Time, let's say one hou difference from East Coast, then you should set it for -5 hours and if you're on the West Coast then the correct setting should be -7 hours.

Yes. Thank you. The time was 6 minutes off and I have seen this before. Now it is 3 minutes.webmaster wrote:To make your Time show the correct time, go into your profile and scroll to the section where it shows to set your GMT Time Zone.

Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anyone really care?
My car and truck are right for a few months each year because I'm too lazy to learn how to set the time by reading the smart papers.
My computer, Direct TV and one clock reset automatically but other than that, digital clocks stay on daylight savings time. I do reset wheel clocks.

OK, Webmaster or whoever's in control of this feature: phpBB has a feature where you can choose whether or not to adjust for daylight savings. It doesn't seem to be enabled here....
I had to fix my profile, because I'd been time shifted. Ecuador, being as it is at the equator, doesn't do daylight savings. Our days don't vary more than 5 minutes across the year....
