Time zone troubles?
 

Is there a hidden setting I'm missing to set the forums to display in local time, or is it GMT for everybody?

IIRC, this board was sent to allow Zulu only

Darn, kind of confusing when I come by at 7:30 in the evening and it says someone's posted tomorrow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Greenwich Mean Time. The time at the prime meridian, 0 deg longitude, planet Earth.

Not the local time at Greenwich, England -- they use European time, GMT+1.

[EDIT]
Ohh, Rag's link tells me I'm using an outdated term, oh well, I'll always find it funny Greenwich doesn't use the time of the prime meridian -- I know it's important to match Europe -- still funny 'tho.
