I've noticed that the board software uses EST, which is handy for me because that's where I live. However, the board-time does not do Daylight Savings time, which makes the board 1 hr off all summer. Is there any reason it doesn't use Daylight Savings time? (I remember some comment by Thyla I think about the server from which the time is gotten regarding some errors in time, but I don't remember the details.) Is there a way we could use Daylight Savings time? Am I just being greedy and lazy?

The server operates on the correct time (or we'd be updating comics an hour off heh heh), but the boards software operates on GMT based timezones, and doesn't handle daylight savings. It just sees you as "GMT -5"

*waits for phpBB 3.0 some more*
