Hi Camille! Also if you need to adjust the forum time for some reason go bottom left Forum Jump and select User Control Panel>Edit Options>Time Offset
Hope that helps! _____________________

<pedant alert>
Mine is set to GMT, and it says 8.30AM. Which is wrong - the UK is currently on BST (British Summer Time) which is GMT +1, so the GMT time is 7.30AM. GMT doesn't change in the summer. GMT website </pedant alert> But I don't mind, I understand what it's telling me |
