Title: Time of posts
Post by: Vincent on March 29, 2004, 04:47:36 PM

Just a little thing I've just spotted.

In the UK our clocks went forward 1 hour Sunday morning, the posts I made on here today are saying they were made one hour earlier.

When do you change the UK time for the site - it's too easy for me to go :crazy: and forget that I should be looking at an hour earlier on the Latest Posts page :-)

So it is.  But then I haven't taken great stock in the 'time posted' info as it went really crazy a few months ago for quite a while :-)

Is it just the UK that the daylight savings changes apply to?  I was under the impression a good few countries did also...

What scared me was the thread that's got more replies than views (a relic from Talk-About perhaps?).

Is that still happening?  I thought that was a burp in the system post upgrade that had passed already.  Hmmm.

- edit - I think what I just said is right, I don't see any threads that are suffering from that now...

Other countries do the swithover to DST as well.  Here in the US, we change over this coming weekend (first weekend in April).  The catch phrase here has always been "Spring forward...Fall back".

It was the homosexuality in the land of the free thread IIRC

We're not on UK time. Just plain old American US time.

Huh?

Some of us actually live in the future...
I`m at usually at least 5 hours ahead, (helps in keeping my website bang-upto-date as well), or more...as you can see from my Avatar... :-)

Never really seen the point in DST.

I think its to keep schoolkids from having to walk in the dark or wait for the bus, er I think.

Yeah, I heard that one, but assuming they go both to and from school each day, it still doesn't make an awful lot of sense ;-)

Now I think about it, I think this was the problem at this time last year.  It settled when the US DST came into effect, so hopefully it'll be sorted by this weekend :-)

@tpg

:lol: good site that :-D

Who's with me in wanting DST to end then? :-D

If I'm not mistaken the entire EU does it at the same date.
