I think there's something fishy with the messageboard clock. I live in GMT +2 zone and the time here is 8:40 am. Yet ENW tries to tell me that the time is 9:40 am. It isn't my settings that's doing this as I have checked the settings about DST and Time Zone a few times. I could fix this by changing my time zone setting to GMT +1, so it's not that big deal, just something I noticed and wanted to point out.

It's not anymore for me... Maybe you should check the daylight saving settings on your options? Just to be sure. That wasn't the case when I originally posted the bug... But since it has been fixed out here, maybe it's a setting thing for you. Ofcourse it's possible that Morrus has stolen a whole timezone from the world...
Hmm, stupid question, but are you sure your PC is set for the same time zone as your EN World settings? The clock looks fine for me, too.

Yeah, I'm suure it isn't my computer clock. If you change the Time Zone to Central Standard time (GMT -6) and check the change against time and date.com, there should be a one hour differential.
I'm in in the Eastern time zone. My PC's clock says 8:32. The EN World clock on the bottom of the page says 8:30 and GMT-5. It looks right to me. The only reason I can think it wouldn't be right for you is if you have EN World set to use something other than GMT-6.

Well, it's detecting your daylight savings time settings. The only thing I can think of is that it thinks you're in daylight savings time, which would put you in GMT-5.
Can you post a picture of your date and time settings in Windows?

Note that the OS copy is so old it that it predates Congress changing the dates that daylight savings time beings and ends. Hence vbulletin is getting confused by the system clock shifting on what are now the wrong dates. Presumably when servers change over the the OS is overhauled this problem will go away.

My settings are the same as Slider Wade's, though (except I'm in GMT-5 instead of GMT-6) and mine is working fine. If it was just a problem with the server wouldn't everyone be having this problem?

Why is the clock ahead by an hour?
