Is this site's time wrong?

Setting it to my proper time zone in my board profile has the clock being an hour ahead for my board time. And it's not a mistake on my end, I did some Google searching to be positive about my own time zone and to make sure my zone didn't enter daylight savings time.

The site's time is set to UTC, just to keep everyone on the same page and help us coordinate internationally. It's pretty much "wrong" for everyone, but it's a good marker to use when setting time limited things.

Edit: Yeah Ambi is right, you can set your time zone in the UCP. That's what I get for answering with a baby on my knee :lol:

Oh. So just set it to the one that gets the right time, even if the actual timezone is wrong? Sorry for putting this in general discussion, wasn't really sure where to put it. I was thinking site suggestions, but that definitely seemed to be the wrong place for it... But I guess that's exactly where it needed to go. :(

Uuuuuhhhhhhhh, the time zone is right for me. Make sure it's on the proper UTC, and then make sure you don't have DST checked by mistake (right under the timezone option).

For anyone that isn't sure, to edit your time zone go to:

User Control Panel > Board Preferences > Edit Global Settings > My Timezone

The DST option is right beneath that one.
