How can I make my view of DU follow my daylight saving time?
The timestamp of all posts appear to me in GMT/UTC, but I am currently on British Summer Time instead.

I don't recall having this trouble in previous years. I'm sure it followed the daylight saving time changes before. What did I do wrong this year, and how do I fix it? I can't find anything in the preferences that looks like it will help.

1. Hi Billyskank!
I hope you can figure out what to do for this as your "daylight savings time isn't listed". You may have to pm one of the admins. I hope your day goes well!:) :) :hi: :hug:

3. Go to 'options'...
and under 'set time zone' change it to 'Norway/Oslo' (which is GMT +1, and in line with British Summer Time).

4. Yes I can do that
But I am sure in previous years it followed the daylight saving changes without need for intervention. :hi:

11. Well, the coffee's done.
:donut: But I goofed it up pretty badly. We have one of those makers that dumps it into two thermal mugs. But I forgot to set it to 1 cup and it put half of my water into the other mug. Then it didn't want to re-brew it. So I have a REALLY strong cup of coffee! You'll be scraping me off the ceiling in no time.

There you go again with your cute pics. I stole it this time.

14. I did that ...
And just got off the phone with 1) my sister, then 2) my Mom. They got a VERY chatty me today. :rofl: Mom says I'm "too much" ... funny, my realtor told me the same thing the other day. Just how much is enough? :shrug:

8. I haven't been up long enough to even try to figure that one out.
And I missed Clintmax's morning thread. :cry: But whatever time it is, I hope you're still here so you can hear me say:

Good Morning, billyskank!

17. And sometimes we have to leave rather suddenly.
Like when the phone rings ... then you just have to drop off for a while and come back whenever and hope you don't hurt someone's feelings. My phone was ringing off the hook yesterday. It's pretty busy today, too. :D

I'm keeping vigil for harleydad while he travels and calling him every few hours. And I talk with my sister almost every day and Mom several times a week. Thank goodness for that unlimited calling plan! :woohoo:

Don't mind me ... my coffee was WAY too strong, so I'm buzzing like a little bee! :bounce:

:hug:

21. Oh, billy, I just looked at your journal.
Last week was pretty bad for me and I wasn't around too much. I LOVE your vacation pics! And what a nice picture of you -- you even LOOK like the gentle soul I know you are. :loveya: I'm sorry I didn't make it to your threads when you came back. Thanks for sharing and putting it all in your journal. :hug:

23. Hey thanks
The whole purpose for putting it in my journal was exactly that; so people could see the pictures even if they missed them when I posted them. Thanks for your kind words. :hug:

:loveya: too.

19. IIRC the US changed its DST rules this year
so they are no longer in synch with Europe.

Maybe you tea-drinking, latte sipping commie Saddam-loving socialists should jump on the bandwagon. :yoiks:

20. But you're on summer time now though, aren't you?
We changed about three weeks ago, I thought you guys changed a week later. :shrug:

25. I think it changes back a few weeks later this year
I'm not quite sure why, though. I imagine it has to do with soaring fuel costs, or at least that's what they're telling us :tinfoilhat:

26. The Bush administration has found a way to steal summer from you
I'm sure of it. :D
