The forum... 1 hour off for the next 6 months

Just to nip this one in the bud (again)...

You may notice that the forum is 1 hour off (depending on wherre you live). This is not a bug, it's not a problem with the server, it's the way the forum was written.

From the developers FAQ:
I selected X for my timezone but the time is not correct!

I suspect the time is correct but that you may have switched (locally) to daylight savings time. At present we do not support daylight savings only standard local times. Therefore during summer months (depending on whether your nation/state switches to daylight savings) the board times may appear to be one hour behind the real local time. The solution is to either put up with it (just let your users know) or to move the timezone of everyone who is affected (remember that not all your users may be from nations who have switched to daylight savings) on one hour, eg. GMT becomes GMT+1. This requires running some SQL and you should search our forums for information.
If it drives you nuts... change your timezone to be one hour off.
