P.S. I know this has been mentioned in other threads but just thought a post here would be good
Hi Mike, so why don't you or somebody just change it globally so your thousands of members don't have to each spend time doing it?

What about someone in the US or Spain - global wouldn't work.
However now that DST is in some regions of the US perhaps software will change

Hi Vidura
Timestamping of posts is done by the forum software which is on the server which runs MHF ...it is based in Maidenhead which means that ( * as of last night ) the timestamps are set according to Greenwich meantime.
So whilst a member in the UK would see that this post was made today at Sun 22:39 a member in Sydney Australia , if he did not alter the Forum timezone local to him would think I had posted it at 9:39 Monday morning ..... well I think that's why and it's the best excuse I can come up with for now
Mike
* do not read this bit it is wrong ...nothing changed as far as the server times go ...see Franks post below ....you have to get up early in the morning to fool Frank )
