OT: Barrysworld dates

[old.Veritreus]

Well, either my watch, my computers clock, all my friends watches and clocks and well, lots of other clocks that I see around are all wrong, or the Barrysworld forum dates are an hour out - at the bottom of each thread it says the time (and the same on the posts), and states that all times are GMT... which they can't be as I'm using GMT and I'm an hour different.

The time by my watch is now 13:39, but at the bottom of the forum thingy it says 12:39 GMT... strikes me as a little confusing.

That's because it shows it in GMT...

we're currently on BST (british summer time)

which is GMT+1. During the winter we're on GMT.

Note that CEST (central european summer time or something) is BST+1 ... and is what they're on just now over there.

Bah, I hate times... always so flippin' confusing. Why can't we just leave them the same when it gets to different times of the year? Stupid idea.

And programming with them's even worse...

All times change +1 so why not change the forum clock too.

as far as I can see it actually states that all times are GMT +1 hour wouldnt that make it BST?

It would, yes... but er... it doesn't on mine.
