The clocks have gone back, but teh forum is still on GMT+1 
(I can never understand why we change the clocks when there is plenty of daylight to go around, and go back to 'real time' when light is in short supply?) |

Don't know where you are located but I live in the GMT time zone and your post is showing as having been made at 5:15PM (6 minutes ago) and the front page is telling me that it is 5:22pm which is also what my GMT watch says it is.
Have you set the right timezone in your PostNuke profile?
EDIT: I now see where you are located - surely you are in the same timezone as I am (give or take 300 miles)? |

| Here in the US our Congress made Daylight Stupid Time even worse. Now our clocks don't go back until next Sunday, well maybe not if you didn't get that DST software update. There is nothing politicians can't make much worse and our Congressional idiots are all corrupt to the core consummate politicians. Screwing up DST is just small time practice for them. |

It would be simple enough to keep up with local DST changes if AVRfreaks would reference their clock to GMT, which does not change by an hour at any time during the year. It has been clear for several years that their reference is actually local Norway time, which due to changes in the US now requires four changes per year to stay accurate.

Norway has to change its time 4 times a year to comply with US requirements?  Isn't English a wonderful medium for confusion ... |

English is a terrible language for avoiding confusion.
I will restate.
Because the AVRfreaks clock changes by an hour twice a year and the changes are out of sync with the USA's changes, if I want to keep my time as reported on AVRfreaks accurate, I have to change my profile four times a year. If AVR freaks would use GMT as a reference (WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY DO) I, and everyone else who suffers through daylight saving time changes, would only have to change our own profile twice a year.
So I am a lazy SOB.

I just ignore the time stamps ... lazy or resigned to the futility? Who knows.
