I just posted a message and went back into it to just to check. however i noticed that it said i posted it at 17:31 when it is infact 18:31!!

Its not my clocks on the computer so maybe its just a 1 off error or u lot are still in GMT!

Just thought i'd alert you.

Look at the bottom right - it tells you what timezone you've selected in your profile - you can change it to what you like - mine is correctly showing GMT+1.

It's pretty standard for the internet to use UTC - that is GMT without the changes for BST, that way there is one time for one time all round the world.
