Forum Time
Hi all, just a quick note that due to summer time ending (in Europe), you may experience the forum's times appearing to be an hour out.
I have attempted to set the timezone automatically for those in Europe with a country flag set in their profile. So if you have set a country flag then users with a UK, Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Portugal flag set will have been moved to GMT, and European users to GMT+1
Otherwise, you need to change your timezone setting in your own profile - the Timezone setting at the bottom of the preferences section needs to be changed to 'GMT' (for the UK etc) or the correct timezone offset for your country (if not UK).
Let me know any problems, sorry it's got to be done manually for some but it does only take about 30 seconds

The forum default is now GMT + 1, so visitors who aren't logged on will see the post timings in BST.
Logged on users will see the posts timed to whichever timezone is set in their profile - the user profile setting automatically overrides the forum default.

Forum default is now back to GMT to bring the default back in line with British Time.
As a logged in user if you want post times to be correct, go into your Profile and change the Timezone back to GMT (or whatever it needs to be!)

Bump! Forum time now back to GMT + 1, however as mentioned above your member profile setting will override it so you need to change it manually.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Bump! Forum default (guest/logged out time) is back to GMT but you must change your own profile back to GMT (or the correct zone or where you are) 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Bump again, the forum default is now GMT+1 to coincide with British Summer Time, however you need to correct your own time zone in your profile as they have changed differently around the world 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
