It’s 1:34 am here in Tucson, but the board’s time says 12:34, one hour earlier. I have my time and date settings to show Mountain Standard Time, so I know they’re correct. Is the time off for everybody else?

It’s fine for me. [Two years ago](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=751169) someone else in a non-DST area had the same problem and was advised that it was usual behavior that would fix itself soon.

Ah. I wasn’t aware that DST had started. Being in Arizona, it doesn’t affect me. I understand it now.

The boards sorted themselves out. They agree with my time again.
