ILx Time

So post times on ILx now seem to be an hour off for me - is this because the UK equivalent of Daylight Savings Time has begun (but the US' does not until next week)?

I reset my settings, which fixes stuff that's posted now (but doesn't it change the time of previous postings?). This isn't a demand of anyone, but dealing with this anomaly might be something for tech-type ppl to think about.

Spring Forward.

oh, and sorry for starting a thread on this - I suppose it should have gone in a moderator thread?

We in the UK haven't moved our clocks since last October or whenever it was, so it ain't that. The times look fine to me.

yeah but we do move our clocks forward tomorrow! And yep the time is wrong.

coz it's 6:25pm, but you know it's probably just a question of changing your settings.

in the EU (is Time in the UK different?), "summertime period" apparently begins at 1 AM UTC (whatever that is) on Mar. 30

this was also apparently responsible for New Answers weirdness earlier this morning

Americans don't spring ahead until April 6th

Last autumn I rpomised this would be fixed and elegant and automatic by now. Ah well.

Hmmm... I don't see any times up there. I always thought it would be helpful to know who posted what when. Maybe it's on the Options page...
