Just noticed that some recent posts seemed to be off by an hour. Then noticed at the top of the page: "All times are UTC - 8 hours". But, during daylight savings time, our local time zone is UTC - 7 hours. Any way this can be adjusted?

Yeah. Just go to user control panel and adjust the time-zone thingy.

Thanks RHS, guess I could've gone looking for that before I posted. Still kinda klugey cuz I had to pick Mountain time zone to get the UTC -7. Seems like it should have an option to auto-adjust for daylight savings or something.

Geez, even after RHS's reply, I didn't see the DST option (bring me another beer!).
So, for anyone else who hasn't already figured this out:

  1. Go to User Control Panel (link at top of page)
  2. Select "Board Preferences" on nav menu at left
  3. Set "My Timezone" to [UTC - 8] Pacific Standard Time
    then, right below that...
  4. Set "Summer Time/DST is in effect": Yes

In the fall when we go off DST, just change the Summer/DST setting to "No"

Thanks RHS and Los for setting me straight :)
