    What's the time?

    Have I missed any reference to the fact the the Forum is still running on GMT, while the rest of us are now in BST?

    Don - on my PC all the times here seem to be on British Summer Time... (he says at 16: 51)

      Here comes my renewed reputation as a weirdo! My PC is definitely showing 16:53 right now, but your message above is shown as 15:51.

        Well I'm logged in, if that helps.

          I've just tried on my lap top, where I'm not logged in, and the Forum times are still showing as GMT there as well.

            ... forgive my obtuseness here - I think I'm always 'logged in' when I visit this site - how do I see it without being logged in?

              I've just logged out - then logged in again, and there is no change. Forum times are still stuck at GMT.

                Okay, okay. Logged in, logged out, you should now see BST. Before it was just our little world where we knew what time it really was - the rest of the world was under the impression they were on GMT .

                Edit: But I'll be interested to know what time it is on Don's machines!

                  All times are GMT +1. The time now is 17:13.

                  The above was copied and pasted from the bottom of the page- at 5:13pm. So it's showing the right time for me, and has done so without fail since Sunday morning.

                      [Just been called away for a few minutes.]

                      Afraid here I'm still seeing your above post as 16:15, so no change there.


                      But I'll log out, close the site, then come back in, and report further ...

                        Well on calling up the site anew, the times were showing correctly (my last post above as 17:26).

                        BUT, as soon as I logged on again, they went back to GMT - the post above is now showing 16:29!

                          Is your own computer set to BST? If so I can't think what can be causing it to show the forum at GMT.

                            Before anyone asks. I've just closed the site, deleted all cookies, gone in again, and results are just as in #16:

                            Logged out - times correct (BST)
                            Log in - times revert to GMT

                            Sorry, ff.

                              Oh yes (as I said in one of my first posts). The clock is currently showing 17:37. No problems on any other sites (just checked eBay time on that site - 17:38).
