I can't imagine no one has noticed but just in case

Actually, I just checked it on the server and it's correct. Maybe your LG account setting isn't right for Daylight Savings Time?

Thx Larry.

Is your time showing correctly?

I ask because the server is telling me it is NOT daylight savings time.

Just set your clcok to GMT -7. I had to set it back and hour too because of DLS. It'll be right when you're logged in, an hour off when you're not logged in.

Or if you don't live in LA

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing.

Never had it be off in the past 7 years so I figured something had happened.

The times on the server are fine, it's the board software that's an issue. Unfortunately, phpBB doesn't have a nice way of allowing automatic correction for daylight savings. And even if it did, the likelihood of it having been updated to account for the new daylight savings time in the U.S. and Canada is pretty small.

Your best bet is to do exactly what you did and update your timezone to accurately reflect your local time.
