Adrian?

Just set the server time correctly. That's all that needs doing.

I think that the server time has been set to GMT rather than UTC.

Whatever. Just set the server to one hour before the time it is now, or set the time zone settings to be one hour further forward. This has to solve it, surely?

Its certainly not something that can just be left. Unlike the US, we're all on the same time zone here, so it really makes absolutely no sense to us.

In addition, vBulletin's locality settings allow any vbulletin user around the world to set the time to their local time zone.. so basically ANYONE around the world viewing the site will see the times one hour out.

I don't think we want to be the only vBulletin forum with the time an hour out, do we?

yes, yes.. ok guys.

I'm sure the guys will get it all sorted out soon. Let's just give them a bit more time.

Anyway.. you'd all be whinging at me again within 3 months!

It's fixed now. Some replies will appear out of order if they're during the 1-hour timeframe, but other than that we should be good to go. A bit bothersome, but it was either that or leave it be.
