I dunno -- what time did you leave your message? For me, it's showing 9:18 PM, and I'm in the Eastern time zone.

Our options say DST is enabled. Let's see when this posts -- it's 11:57 pm EDT on my clock here at home.
Edit: Yep, it's still showing EST. Not sure how to fix that.

According to the display I see, your message was posted at 11:56 PM.

This all gets very confusing. VB’s DST works, but there could be a problem with host servers. Our host for DTP always gets it wrong and takes about three hours to fix it!

Let’s see when this message posts. I am typing at 9:56 AM EDT.

Edit: And so it shows.

FWIW, I noticed that the server did not kick to DST on March 11. As I type this, it is currently 10:32am EDT, but the web page is showing 09:32AM.

Not on my computer. It may be affected by individual settings (though it shouldn't be).

It's still an hour behind and I have no clue how to change it. Sigh... this is exactly the kind of question our dear Gary would have loved...

I think I found the answer, at least temporarily. In your UserCP options, change your DST Correction Option to always on.

Aha! User CP issue.

Apparently. I changed my settings to Always On for DST and it's now the right time. But I fear that it may be necessary to change them again when the "real" DST begins for the rest of the world, since everything is fixed by reference to GMT.
