Apparently our new host hasn't adjusted the time on their servers for Daylight Savings Time. (Although, now that I think about it, does Arizona (where they're located) even support DST?) So, I've just adjusted the forum's time offset accordingly. IF they eventually adjust their servers, I'll just adjust it back.  :)

I checked - Arizona doesn't. That might complicate things. But I'm going to wait to see what happens at 7pm EDT / 4pm PDT...

OK - the forum's day changed at 7pm ET / 4pm PT just like it should have, so everything should be fine.

There's a thick layer of snow out and it's DST.   Well, I needed to find out if it was DST yet just now, and I did, thanks.

My computer decided to go to DST a few weeks ago.   This is getting ridiculous.    It's supposed to happen in April, when it's actually, you know, Spring.

It turns out that last month when my computer decided to change, it went the wrong way and now it's two hours off.

Your computer is a rebel.

I forgot that our host doesn't support DST, so I just adjusted the forum's time now. Hopefully things will work the same way they did back in March, and the forum's day will change at 7pm ET / 4 pm PT, and today will simply be 25 hours long instead of 24 - making up for the hour we lost in March - just as everywhere that supports DST will. We'll see...
