Don't forget to go to "My Controls" and untick "Daylight saving time in effect" otherwise your posts will be time stamped wrong.

Quite right James - I hadn't "clocked" that one ;)
In truth, the datestamp on each post is always consistent with all other posts on the board, so there's no chance of any complications with users in other timezones. The datestamp is an absolute measurement of time in seconds from the start of the UNIX epoch, 1st January 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
The actual times you see on the board are corrected according to your timezone and daylight settings.
