I've noticed lately that all the times showed on the forums here are as if the time is 1 hour later than it actually is. I just edited my thread in the haven at 12:52 local time and yet it says it was edited at 1:52. WTH???

Members are all over the world. WP can hardly be expected to show the time at the location of every member! It never shows the actual time I post either, and that's the way international forums work, not just WP.

Go to the top right corner of the screen and click "My Account"

Click "Board Preferences", "Edit Global Settings"

"My Timezone" make sure you are on "Central Standard Time"

"Summer Time/DST is in effect:" "No" button
