Changed the clocks last night. Woke up, went to the Dope and registering times were off by an hour. Did I screw up? Checked [Time Ticker](http://www.timeticker.com/) It agreees with the SDMB. Now I’m really confused. I check tv listings on the local channel on my community cable service. I’m going with the local yokels. Its DST after all. Thanks a lot Ed :rolleyes: ---

Check off the little box in your User CP that says ‘Automatically Detect DST’. Then go take a walk around the fucking block. ---

That makes absolutely no sense. There’s only one system clock. And it’s very obviously set correctly. ETA: I assume he meant PDT. If not, well… there’s your answer. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/daylight-saving-time-get-with-the-program-ed/488744.md?page=2)
