Shouldnt the GMT time on the site be forwarded one hour after the time changes in Europe tonight?
If the GMT-time didnt got changed the UK would atm live in GMT+1 which is kinda impossible :O.

even if many people believe otherwise, gmt never ever changes and has no daylight saving

during winter gmt is the same as wet (Western Europe Time) - in summer it isnt

If you live in western europe and uk chose Western Europe Time
If you live in central europe chose Central Europe Time

and it'll all work out ;-)

Yes change the time, on this board it says: 30.03 20:25 GMT but it is actually 21:36 GMT.

And now it shows on board "02:56 GMT" and its 03:56 GMT" ...

Since you've got the UK flag I suppose you live there. I hate to tell you that you are not living in the GMT timezone, but in the Western European Timezone: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/uk/ (section "UK Time Zone")

Thanks but I have that time zone set in "My Settings" yet this board still shows one hour behind UK GMT time.

Everything was fine untill the clocks went forward last weekend, ah well, guess us UK'ers will have to live with it.

Oh and yes, I do live in the UK so you can stop supposing :)

Western European Time is currently UTC+1 == British Summer Time == GMT+1 == your time

You set your timezone to GMT (which is wrong), i set your correct timezone (WEST, Wester European Summertime) which is the corret timezone for you, itll show you always the correct time now (even in winter, it'll automatically switch to WET then (Werstern European Time))
