Wrong Time: Forum Time Off by 1 Hour

AI Thread Summary
The forum time is currently displaying incorrectly, consistently showing an hour behind the actual local time for users. This issue began after a two-day server outage a few weeks ago, with reports indicating the time is off by approximately an hour and ten minutes. Users have confirmed their profiles are set to the correct time zone and daylight savings settings, yet the discrepancy persists. Many have adjusted their personal clocks to mitigate confusion. The ongoing time issue appears to be a technical glitch that has not yet been resolved.

I think this just started happening recently: the time shown on the forums is off by an hour. It's 9:42 PM here, but when I post it, it will show 8:42 PM. If I click "New Posts", the lastest one will be time-stamped at no later than 8:42 PM. I have my profile set to the correct time zone (GMT - 5:00, EST Canada and US) and daylight savings settings.

PF has recently declared its own time zone.

I've noticed this same problem.
 
Yea, this has been going on for a few weeks now. It seems to be off by about an hour and 10 minutes. I've had to change all the clocks in my house to avoid confusion. Luckily I have nothing else to do.

Brilliant idea! Since this doesn't seem to be something that's going to be fixed any time soon, I should do the same.

The time problem started after the prolonged 2 day outage a few weeks ago. The time has been off since the server came back up.

When it first came back on, it was drifting all over the place. It's been pretty consistently about an hour off all week (at least).
