Strange times...

Is it only my comp showing strange time for the posts I make?
When I make a post, it says that it was posted an hour ago.
It's after the Summer-time, and I began thinking: Is it only in Denmark the term Summer-time excists?
I don't know if there is a mistake or something on the page, or it's just my user...
Please use the vote/topic to inform me...

That's not a bad idea, Am S... Only I'm too proud of my masterpiece, if you know what I mean...

Nope, it's in other countries too (like Finland). I was actually going to post an announcement about this since it seemed to cause some confusion, but here's the short version: check your profile. There's a time offset that is relative to GMT. GMT does not know daylight saving time, so you actually have to change the setting when your country moves to DST and back.

Okay-dokay Admin... I'll try that... Thanks

But hey, it' sobviously EU's fault that last summer it rained in Europe all the time! They wanted to equalize the weather and then the rain-switch got stuck. [conspiracy theory/]

So this is the explanation... Thanks Nemo

No prob.

Always glad to explain mysterious things. I just hope they've got the rain-switch fixed, or else... :evil:

Let's see if they try to equalize the sunny time this year (like Finland vs. Spain) and get the sun-switch stuck... :mrgreen:

Hehee, you always manage to amaze me, Am. :mrgreen:

Yeah, let's hope so. :mrgreen:

It's just that too much sun is not good, either..the weather should be in balance - a little rain every now and then, and a lot of sun!

It's called daylight saving times, and it's ruining our idea of time. You never know what time it is in Bangkok at springtimes :roll:

No, it's used all around the globe. Or well - almost.
