I changed my user profile in the User Control Panel by checking the "Summer Time/DST is in effect" in the Board Preferences section of the User Control Panel as recommended. When I'm logged in, everything is hunk-dory, but when I open the forum without logging in, all times show as one hour earlier than they should.
Do I need to change something else, or is this a system-wide glitch with Cavechat.org? Do other users see a time error of one hour if they open Cavechat.org without logging on?

Most words ending in an unstressed -our in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Australia and most English-speaking countries (e.g., colour, flavour, honour, neighbour, rumour, labour) end in -or in the United States (e.g., color, flavor, honor, neighbor, rumor, labor).
