What time zone does the Forum use for the posting time?

[RF_Burns]

Just wondering what time zone the Forum uses for the posting time. This morning I posted a reply at about 7:30am EST (eastern standard time). My posted message has a time stamp of 10:41am, so that is 3 hours ahead of me. Newfoundland time is 1.5hours ahead of me, so that puts the server somewhere further East in the Atlantic ocean?

Just wondering, or maybe the server time is like my VCR clock... not set. lol

I think it is Greenwich Mean Time GMT

I was thinking GMT, but that is 4 hours ahead. No biggie, just wondering.

Well, it is supposed to be UTC time. Let me check.

Weird....I posted that last response at 5"53am local time here (central) and it says 5:53 am for me. The settings on the forum software are set to UTC, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Interesting, you said 5:53am, I don't see a posting for 5:53am, but I do see your second last posting says 10:53am.

I made an error saying Eastern Standard time, but of course we are on Daylight Saving Time so EDT, which is 5 hours off GMT.

I looked for a setting in my Account for time zone, but I did not find anything.

Bruce... hit your account icon at the top right corner of your forum page....under preferences you'll find the time zones.
