Wrong time zone

Just noticed clock is 1 hour late. It's only correct in winter time, if we use our standard time zones.

You just need to set it one time zone over temporarily. You can do this in the user control panel. For some reason the forum software does not incorporate daylight savings time, so I just change mine twice a year between -6 and -5.

The board default is GMT -8 (Pacific NW of USA, where board was started from, AFAIK).

You can change the time displayed and format of calendar date from your user control page, select "edit profile" and then bump the time zone to desired display time.

I just checked, the forum control panel has no option to do automatic daylight savings time changes, plus, where and IF daylight savings is observed are changed regionally from time to time-

The format default for calendar is European style, that is DD-MM-YYYY, rather than the USA common version of MM-DD-YYYY
