Servers don't do daylight saving time shifts. That's something your web client/browser does for you. Posts are showing with correct times on all clients I have used since Sunday morning. Perhaps a setting on your client?

It is a Forum setting. Click on your User name on the top right and select User Control Panel and set it in Board Preferences. phpBB took the deliberate decision not to do this as they could never get the code right for the whole world, with different dates, so do, some don't etc. etc.

Ah okay, fair enough. But it is strictly a forum user setting. I don't recall doing this - but must've done so in the past 9 years at some point :D
It's a good thing too - as our Aussie users would have some very strange date/times on display.

No ....

Something's changed !

The second dropdown box is only showing "A?????" time-zones eg. Europe/London has disappeared.
The upper box is a 'hard coded' option (How come it knows to suggest UTC+1 ?)

The second dropdown if clicked should have a scroll bar and should show all the A???????????? and when scrolled should show the E???????????? including Europe/London.

The first scroll should show all the available Time Zones in the world from UTC-11 to UTC+14.

At least it does on mine in Firefox!!

Europe/London does not exist in my list either.

I presume BRexit is operational
My god, whole timezones disappear! Does Johnson know what he has done? :lol:

As you can see the scroll bar is at the bottom, but it's only the A's showing ...

That is because you have the dropdown above set UTC 0.00. Click on the Suggestion to set it UTC +01.00 and the European ones will appear.

Maybe the old forum server used to use DST? The current server doesn't.
