So, is ADT unable to handle Daylight Savings Time correctly? Fark.com claims to have the same problem.

Can you run the site on UTC or TAI and have the display be local time? My TiVo knows how to deal with DST.

The reason I noticed this is I clicked on &quotall forums read" and the folder icon color didn't go from pink to yellow.

The server that runs ADT handles the clock function. It does handle daylight savings.

I've thought about developing UTC or local time options for the forum but don't really see much benefit to justify the significant amount of development time.

BTW, Daylight Savings officially ended at 2:00 AM on 10/31. Your post was made prior to this time and thus the forum performed as would be expected.

No, I posted after DST ended. It correctly accepted and timestamped the post. However the threads I had viewed at 1:45 am Daylight Savings Time were flagged as unviewed at 1:21 am Standard Time.

No matter, it's not like you're running a nuclear reactor.
