The time is wrong! Dun dun dunnn.
There is a hack you can get, I'm not too sure on where you could find it, but it takes into account Daylight Savings, which would kinda correct the incorrect clock.
Yeah. *shrug*

If it involves work I'm sure Bleys will get right on that.

It does work with daylight savings, you're just in a terrible, terrible timezone.
Time is right for me *shrug*

Yep, daylight savings here too and the clock is correct for me, you might need to check your timezone settings or something :p Do note that your physical timezone does not change when you go into daylight savings, which is a common misconception - your timezone stays fixed unless you physically move location, only the clocks change.
The only time it's wrong for me is for one week during when America change their clocks, because they do it one week too early/late, being the silly timekeepers they are :p
Don't blame us! Blame the farmers! :(

maybe you live in Indiana where they refuse to accept daylight savings time and thus shuttle between two time zones. Just ask Del Snizz. or Rirse. It is his birthday.

It's not the farmers' fault for Daylight Savings or Timezones. It's teh Railroad People.

Just get an atomic clock. Sheeesh.
Or better yet, use metric time.

What have railroads done for us? Pfft. They should've been working on dem aeroplanes. Dem aeroplanes won us the war, where was the railroads?

The railroads didn't start up daylight savings time, the farmers did. the railroads set up time zones. Actually, daylight savings time was set up (in the US) during WWI so that farmers had more time to work the fields so that there was more food for the troops.

Shut it, Hoot. ;)
Well, actually, we don't even have Daylight Savings, so that could play some part in the problem. ;\

you need to go into your profile and set your time zone. Otherwise it goes by GMT. Unless you live in England (or Ghana) then this is not your timezone.

Does anybody really care? If so, I can't imagine why... we've all got time enough to cry.

apparently the prize is Bleys humping your leg. I wouldn't bother to claim it though. Unless you want it.

I don't have problems in DST because Philippines won't recognize it.
Anyway, Philippines is GMT+8, so please include in the Time Offset options, if you can.

There's already a GMT+8 O_o
Or do you mean "include Philippines' capital"?

Just wondering, but how is that possible? Here in Perth, we're GMT +8. *shrug*

If you're using summer times, your clocks will be using +1 to what your timezone normally is. I'm in Greenwich timezone, but it's GMT+1 here in Britain, since it's Summer.

Two things come into play there, though.
1) It's winter.
2) We don't have daylight savings.
It doesn't bother me having my time set to GMT + 7, it's just something I noticed after a while. xD
