Is the Agora still running on Daylight-Saving time? I feel sure that until recently, the time shown on posts was always the same as local wall-clock time. Now the time is always one hour later than local time.

This a matter of overpowering triviality, I would nonetheless be interested to know if anyone else has noticed this effect.

(This posted at 10:37 local time = GMT+1)

Derek, I’d also wondered whether the Agora had moved to Puerto Rico!

Its clock has remained 4 hours behind GMT despite the recent end of Daylight-Saving Time.

A bug, or a "feature"?

The clock did move back an hour when Daylight Saving Time ended. Trouble is, it was already an hour fast.

For me, it’s showing Baghdad time, which is a little disconcerting…

Hmm. I know I did have to make a one-hour change to my "offset" time recently, not directly because of the change from Summer to Winter Time but because my profile page was showing an "Agora time" four hours behind local time instead of the previous five.

As I write this (15.05 GMT/UTC) the profile page is showing "Agora time" to be 11.05: local time in Caracas and St John’s.

Thanks for the indirect hint, I had forgotten all about my profile. I wondered before making my first post exactly how the time was adjusted to local time and concluded that the bulletin board software was doing something clever based on my PC settings.

All is now where I can understand it again.

Actually, after the ‘great software update’, the server clock did change.  My time had always matched Agora time until the update.

So evidently, the server moved one time zone closer to yours, Derek!

;D

I notice that local time at the Agora server is now UTC -5 again—so presumably yD’s "Caribbean break" is now over.

Ah, well… I’ll have to change my member profile again, I guess!
