Already there for me

Automatic switching to DST.

All ready there

[bugsbunny]

Unless you meant within the forum. Pretty much all forums I've seen have had this problem.

What's your timezone setting? As folks have said, I get this automatically simply by saying that I want America/New_York as my timezone.

And there's the issue that the US and Europe don't switch to DST at the same time ...

I was talking about within the forum software, hence the placement in "Forum stuff & feedback".

That time is also right for me

AFAIK we do handle DST automatically but as pointed out above our server is in Europe. So I would assume that it doesn't switch until 29th of March.

Edit: And as the caffeine started working I see that the question is about the software. To answer that: I don't know... I kinda thought it did as long as you selected the correct timezone in your profile. Then again, I didn't even know you guys were out of sync with the rest of the world...

Seems like I remember having to reset time in my profile...

The way it works here in the good old US of A , a government BY the people and FOR the people is this:
The clock manufacturers wanted more money , so they greased the palms of a few politicians who passed a law changing when DST changed , thereby BORKing most of our clocks , and after we throw them away in aggravation , We the People went out and bought new ones !
And , rest assured , that just as soon as the sale of clocks falls off again , they'll probably change it Back !
GOD DAMN , I'm proud to be a broke American !

If you bought a new clock because you dont know how to change it you deserve to be broke.

I have no idea why it starts earlier now, but I do remember that an argument for extending it on the other end involved Halloween.
