Daylight Savings Time (why is the clock wrong?)
Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 3:28 pmDue to some changes enacted during the development of phpbb3 (our forum software) in the way DST is implemented, this version (the latest) does not have automatic DST adjustment available. It is hoped that in the next version (3.2) this will be automated but for now it must be manually adjusted.
In plain English, DST just ended on November 1st. If you have it set to on, you need to manually go into your User Control Panel and turn DST off. If it is already off, you don't need to do anything.
To check (and change if necessary) your DST settings, go here:
ControlPanel-->UserControlPanel-->Board Preferences
Q-"Aiighh!!! All this is just too frightening and confusing for me! Will it be horribly painful if I elect not to do anything?"
A-The only difference you might notice is in the times listed after each post. If you have DST set to on, they'll show up as being posted an hour later than they actually were.
Q-"AIIIGHHH!!! Won't I run the risk of being sucked into a temporal vortex (AKA a rift in the space time continuum), being catapulted back in time and somehow inadvertently changing some critical event thus negating my very existence?!"
A-Hopefully not but SignalTraffic.com can not be held responsible for space/time anomalies and/or their consequences or effects on your current existence in this (or any other) dimension. BUT, in the unlikely event you ARE sucked back into the past, please obtain and bury a large selection of early signals and lenses in waterproof containers at the following address...
