This forum uses GMT time (somewhere in Great Britain I think, so not sure with daylight saving) while SL time is US west coast. hth

Most servers use GMT to sync w/ other servers. You should go to User CP > Edit Options and down around the last half there's your Time Zone.

GMT is standard on forums.

LL is based out of San Fran so uses thier own timezone for clarity.

User CP -> Edit Options will allow you to adjust your forum times.

You're referring to Greenwich Mean Time, the international date line, where all the world's time is measured from. Not something particularly important....

East Coast USA is GMT -5, West Coast USA is GMT -8, and there is an hour adjustment when we change from GMT to BST (British Summer Time) until the US catch up - for reasons that remain unknown, you change on different dates.

http://www.worldtimezone.com/ is a useful website. As isthis link to find out about the International Date Line. Pretty common stuff, don't they teach this in the US, or is it just another of those things you try to overlook because its British?

If your forum post times are not set for your own time zone,, go to "User CP" (control panel), pick "Edit Options" then scroll down to "Date and time options".
