The server for this site is not based in the Uk - hence the hour difference.

If its not in the UK, is was on UK time last week, so assume not on the local time were the server is located. So why can't it be put on current UK time.

Please note that this site is run by volunteers not permanent staff. These people work during the day time, hence things take a little longer.

The phone system at work is showing the wrong time and it's all UK based with permanent staff on it!

In the 'Preferences' there is a setting for 'BST' In use Yes/No. Do we need to change this twice a year so that the correct posting time is shown?

I have just noticed that posts are +1hr and the clocks went back today. Changing BST to 'No' corrects the posting time, but surely this is automatic and we should have to intervene manually?
