The “Automatically detect DST” feature isn’t functioning her because, presumably, the server hasn’t been told that Europe switched to DST as of last Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I know you’ve got more important things to think about, but all my post timestamps are 1 hour out - they’re still showing GMT when I’m now on GMT+1 (aka "British Summer Time).
