This website apparently only operates on Daylight Savings Time.

I don't know how anyone can tell that sort of thing any more, with the date stamp function doing all calculating behind the scenes anyway. Hmmm? I miss the baby's bottom business, Maria . . and what kind of pirates are you going on about now?

Daylight Savings Time ended yesterday, but the website's timestamp still reads as DST. I switched to Mountain Time from Pacific, but I thought I'd drop a note so maybe they'd add a toggle as on the old BioWare site.

Example:
It’s 5:15 PST right now. When I post, the time is listed as 4:15.

Actually Daylight Savings Time started yesterday.

But I'd believe that the computer is confused about when its supposed to switch.

1.) It's Daylight Saving Time, i.e. "the time that saves daylight". (pet peeve)
2.) It's also known as Summer Time, which should make it clear that it's just begun (or close to beginning, depending on where you live), not something that just ended.
3.) Ever since hearing the phrase "spring forward, fall backward" several years ago I can finally remember how to adjust the clocks. <3
4.) It's a curse on humanity brought upon us by a conspiring conglomerate of evil bunnies. (lotsa proven huge demerits in a collective jetlag (unproductive employees, spike in car accidents) and with today's electronic appliances all over the amount of energy saved through it is approaching zero)

edit: 9 days ago? How the hell did I stumble into a thread this old?
