This morning, I noticed my time was set ahead 1 hour. Nothing was changed on my computer, so I checked to see if my forum setting had been altered, but it was where I had left it. So, I decided to change my PROFILE OPTIONS setting for DST (Daylight Savings Time) to 'always OFF'. My time is now correct.

For some unknown reason, vBulletin seems to think I am on DST. I know that DST is already in effect in Europe, but that started on Sunday, so I can't really say why I'm suddenly affected by it.

Is anyone else experiencing time changes like this? Was it the DST setting?

My time is correct, but I'm set to "Automatically Detect DST Settings". When I kicked it over to "DST Always On", it did throw me ahead an hour. Are there places that are always on Daylight Savings? I know there are places, like Arizona, that don't change. I think "Automatically Detect" is the way to go.

I was originally on Automatic, and that's when my time changed for no known reason.

Weird. Is your system time still the same?

Yes. in fact, I saw it on two different systems.

FYI, daylight time hasn't started over here (Central Europe) yet - it will begin coming Sunday morning.
