 |
|
Just a reminder that the clocks in the UK went back one hour to GMT at 0200 (BST) this morning, Sunday 26th October. You will all need to go into your profiles and put your time settings back one hour too. This is irrespective of whether you are resident in the UK or not.

For example:
I was GMT-6
Now I'm GMT-5
(I assume the adjustment has to be made again when the U.S. goes off DST?)

The ATF is on a server system set on UK time. Therefore when the clocks go forward or back then every forum member (not just UK) has to change their profile to reflect that change otherwise there would be an hour's difference in the time. Any Daylight Saving changes that take effect in any other country only have to done by those members living in that country.

Boost , it's that time again folks UK clocks back 1 hour.
Note please check your clock type, good mains clocks are triggered by the atomic clock system either by radio signal or more often these days by a signal in the electric mains supply.
It can be embarrasing to clock an hour back after the clock has already done it .... of course I would never .....
