Okay, I checked the server's time, and it's fine. It's updated by a nntp or whatever the protocol is for the internet time servers.

The issue is that the message board itself doesn't pull local time from linux, it just uses an offset from UTC.

What this means is that if you'd like to see the correct time, you have to go into your profile and select your timezone as "-7 hours" for the duration of daylight savings time.

I could change the board's default, but everyone's personal settings override the default, so no one would notice the chnage if I made it.
