I know it might seem like a minor issue, but I like seeing how old a certin post is and see how active a thread might be.

However my time zone seems to be constantly wrong.
I'm GMT+10 (AEST) and my user settings reflect this but it's currently showing my time as 0340 when it's actually 1340.

Some of the other time Zones dont even seem to change my forum time (AEDT) and setting it to GMT+0 changes it by 4 hours instead of 10.

Is there something i'm doing wrong or is the Timezone calculator broken?

I'm on GMT and I've reported that in another thread as being broken, GMT shows EDT/EST all of the time.

However the last few days the times zones have been going weird, I can try to save it to GMT but it'll switch to Y randomly of its own accord. Maybe it's the server moves messing with the clocks.

But please, please, please fix GMT so it shows the times on the forum in GMT not 5 hours earlier!

Probably, but the time zones are there to list the forum times local to you. Most of the others 'usually' list the correct local time. For example CEST/CET which is GMT+1 is correct at 1 hour ahead of Britain. Set it to GMT it displays EDT/EST, which kinds of defeats the purpose.

Also the last few days it's been weird and altering the time zone all on its lonesome.

Set to GMT

Forum displays EST... which is GMT -5 not GMT.

But, for example, if you set to CET. Forum displays CET with correct time. (GMT+1)
