Okay, I am in the right time zone Pacific. Now according to it the time is almost Eight in the morning, but it is actually almost seven in the morning. I went to Alaska time and it now says it's almost Six. Does anyone know what's going on.
I don't know where else to put this
Thank you

I noticed the same thing. The forum's time is off by an hour if you adjust for daylight savings. What you should do is set it to Pacific Time (GMT -8) and turn daylight savings adjustment Off.
Dunno why that is. Maybe the system put itself into daylight savings and is overcompensating an extra hour on top of that for people. Being in arizona i'll have to remember to change my time zone come fall since it'll probably autoadjust backwards an hour and AZ doesn't do daylight savings ;)

There is an issue with our server itself being one-hour off, so the board is actually set to "Alaska time" of GMT -9 and DST is set to ON to compensate. If you don't use DST you will have to adjust your GMT value until the correct time for your particular time zone is displayed. I wrestled with it for nearly an hour the first night trying to get it to work and ended up having to do a strange combination of settings to get it to work.
