Have the clocks gone forward one hour in America? All the latest posts are appearing one hour in the future.

The rest of the world puts their clocks forward in a week or two.

Not anymore. They changed it.

I think all of the U.S. and Canada has pushed the clocks forward now.

Arizona doesn't do it, because they don't want an extra hour of daylight when it is 110 degrees.

Most of Indiana used to stay on the same time throughout the year while a couple of counties closest to Chicago changed...and that is how "Indiana (East)" with no change came to be a zone of its own in M$ Windows.

It's almost 7PM here and it's still light out. :lol:

But yeah, pretty much. It's really annoying.

Just to clarify, the 'time' during the winter season is 'normal' and the adjustment in the spring to fall is the 'savings'.
