If this has been asked before and I missed it, I apolgize. But why is the time on the forum still on standard time?

My forum time is correct. I think that you have to go to the "user control panel" and set it.

Yes, I just looked. under "user control panel" then under "board preferences" tab. You can set DST yes or no.

You need to change it yourself in your profile each time DST changes, I could set it up so it does it automatically but that opens a can of worms because some places don't use it.

To set the time correctly you first need to select the right time zone. Then when DST changes you need to switch it to DST is or is not in effect depending on the time of the year. It doesn't automatically change by itself.
