Our Community Clock & British Summer Time Adjustment

MW123

Our digital timekeeper seems to have missed the memo about the shift to British Summer Time, resulting in all our post times trailing an hour behind the current UK time. For instance, a post I made this morning at 5:26 am is displaying as 4:26 am. Scope may need to manually adjust the clock to ensure accurate timekeeping.

Oh I thought everyone seemed to be popping on earlier than usual, I was starting to think I was lazy

I thought it was me that missed some memo about getting up earlier  

Edit: this post says 9.23am for me, which is correct?

Hi @MW123, It should already have been updated to the right time, but I'll get this checked with the team just in case

Hi @MW123, the time displayed is pegged to the time zone on your respective device and I'm afraid we can't tweak that from this end!

Edit: For example, I posted my comment at 3.19pm BST (and edited it at 3.21pm BST) which was accurately reflected in the post's metadata.

I am puzzled by the discrepancy in the time displayed on your post. According to the metadata, you submitted your original comment at 3:19 PM BST and edited it at 3:21 PM BST. However, on my end, the post is displaying as having been made an hour earlier, at 2:19 PM and edited at 2:21 PM respectively.

Thank you for looking into it. Given that my computer is set to the correct BST, I'm not sure why there would be this hour-long difference in the time shown. As I'm not particularly tech-savvy, I will give my IT support team a call to take a look at my system and ensure they correct these issues with the time settings.

Mine shows the correct time.

Mine has always shown the correct time too, so must be something incorrect on your devices.

I would like to express my gratitude to each of you for taking the time to verify the accuracy of the time settings on your computers.  I sometimes use my personal computer for work-related tasks from home, where having the correct time is essential, especially for managing time-sensitive documents. A discrepancy of even an hour could potentially result in significant complications.
