After just looking at some of the post times, I found out that the Board's times still need to spring ahead one hour.
As I was posting, I noticed the times are two hours ahead of mine, then again, me being from the Mountain Time, I assumed this board uses Eastern Time. Then I just noticed they were just one hour ahead of mine. Anyway, just thought you'd like to know.

Yeah...already told Cool.
Strange. I always thought you had to turn your clocks BACK, not forward...

"SPRING foreward in spring, FALL back an hour in the fall" is the rule-of-thumb for the time changes. Since they don't do this crazy and confusing thing in England, Cool probably didn't know about it. Not all US states do this, either; I am pretty sure that Indiana(yep, those darn Hoosiers-we KNOW about them, don't we?), Hawaii, Alaska and Arizona don't do the time-change thingie.

Great, I wanted to move to Arizona eventually anyway. ;D I hate daylight savings time....losing that precious hour drives me crazy. It's 10:00 here right now. It feels like it should be much earlier...at least an hour.

Everyone's times are individual, so if you want to change it, you have to go to profile and do it yourself. ;D

I love Daylight Savings Time myself, since I'm an "outdoorsy"-type person. DST gives me more time to do things outside after I get home from work, like messing with my dogs and stuff, before it gets too dark. During Eastern Standard Time, I barely have time to get home before it's dark outside. The only complaint I have with DST is that it seems like I have to go to bed too early while school is still in, since it's barely even dark and I'm having to get ready for bed, so I'll be able to function the next day, having to get up at 5:00 am.

I find it really weird the day after DST, because of how light it seems to be in the evening. It's quite nice, though, once you get used to it. ;D

Heh heh.
Come on. It's confusing. I remember that I posted once and I saw that it was 3:08 and I was like, WHAT THE HECK!? It's 4:10!?
Come on Cool, simple change...

Cool can't change YOUR time, Sean. You have to go to your profile and do it yourself, since each person is likely on a different time zone anyway. You and I are in the same zone, but then that wouldn't work for Beboots, over in the western part of Canada, or Joy, who's probably in the Mountain Time Zone, or Light Rises, let alone the several members in Great Britain. There just isn't a single time zone that works for everyone.

I always get confused by DST; I never know which way to turn the clock. Thanks for reminding me to change the time on the computer. ^_^ I can't remember for sure, but I think that all the provinces run on DST, except Saskatchewan (...I can never tell if I spell that right; would you beleive that "Saskatchewan" is actually a short-version of the original name, because the government wanted people to be able to spell it? Didn't quite succeed, I think, but it's gotta be better than what it was before).
...Yay for random pieces of information that nobody cares about! ;D
