I'm guessing at this point that the forum clock does not adjust for DST.
 
From this Forums FAQ page.

The times are not correct!

The times are almost certainly correct; however, what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. So if you are not registered, this is a good time to do so, if you pardon the pun!

I changed the timezone and the time is still wrong!

If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still different, the most likely answer is daylight savings time (or summer time as it is known in the UK and other places). The board is not designed to handle the changeovers between standard and daylight time so during summer months the time may be an hour different from the real local time

Yeah, I was wrong. Having lived most of my life in Indiana where we didn't change our clocks for 30 years, I didn't realize my UTC offset would change. I'm now 4 hours off UTC, not the 5 it's been for the last 30 some years.

Problem fixed.
 
You have to make the change in your own profile. For those of us who go to Daylight Savings Time,
  • EDT is the same as GMT - 4
  • CDT is the same as GMT - 5
  • MDT is the same as GMT -6
  • PDT is the same as GMT - 7
