Can anyone tell me what time that is in GMT (or better yet BST)?

And 12.05 local time. Which means EST is 5 hours behind BST. Which means midnight there will be 5 am here.

I don't think I need to worry about that!

GMT is 4 hours ahead of EST. So at midnight in New York, it's 4am in Greenwich.

You usually don't want to use GMT because of daylight savings...which may put me off by an hour.

No, GMT is 4 hours ahead of EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time). In the winter it is 5 hours ahead of EST (Eastern Standard Time). And I'm pretty sure the international standard is to call GMT (Greenich Mean Time) UTC (Universal Time Code) these days. I'm sure that clears everything up.

I notice the "Boards will be down starting at midnight EST and running until around 3 AM" notice is still up. Are they being shut down every night? If so, to what purpose?

Reindexing the search index, I think. Michael can give us more information.
