The time shown for the posts is Eastern Daylight Time for me, aka GMT - 4 hours. This is something you can adjust under your profile.

All the times (For the newbies and veterans alike) the default setting is set to GMT (or UTC-Greenwich Time) and can be easily adjusted in your profile ... -4 hours for Eastern Daylight Time ...

Remember that when time changes next month, and to have to current time, you'll need to set GMT -5 hours when the clocks go back one hour. (Residents of Indiana, and Arizona aren't subject to that change where Daylight Savings Time is not observed :) )

I've been lurking for a while, but I see more and more familiar names from the other board. Now I understand about the time and about those cute pictures. I just thought I was being stupid. Anyway, I think this board has many nice people. Thanks to all for your input and conversation regarding weather!

Cool, msbee ...

For anyone else that wishes to readjust the time, go to your profile settings and scroll down to adjust your time.

-4 hours for Eastern Daylight Time
-5 hours for Central Daylight Time
-6 hours for Mountain Daylight Time
-7 hours for Pacific Daylight Time

Remember, when Daylight Savings Time ends to reset the clock -1

After October (when we go back to Standard Time)
-5 hours for Eastern Daylight Time
-6 hours for Central Daylight Time
-7 hours for Mountain Daylight Time
-8 hours for Pacific Daylight Time

Hope this helps out

Great "statistical" post (above), SF. Thanks... great for the members to have the correct time on the "best board on the net!"

I had to start using it some time with a 5.7% increase in members, based on the over 740 members this afternoon! :D
