Timing screwed up again

Just realised that the server time had changed, because the Americans decided to change the DST system that has worked fine for decades!!!!! So ive changed the scripts again, and will have to do so again in 3 weeks time when the rest of the world changes DST (God only knows why the americans decided to break the DST system and change everything!)

Sorry, if u dont know what im talking about... basically the US decided (About 2 years ago) that they were gonna change their DST timing, so they now put their clocks forward/backward at different times to everyone else in the world. So, twice a year, it messes everything up for us. Nice one BUSH! What an idiot.

America has many time zones too so it probably changes more often DST = Daylight Saving Time?

Matt how come you use that service provider if they cause so much hassle, can't you get another S P?

Because it was never a problem before George Bush decided to make US DST changes different from the rest of the world. The site is setup so that nothing needs changing. But now that the US (Since Nov 2007) put their clocks back/forward at different times of the year... it means that I have to manually change a setting. It's not hard work, takes 2 minutes, i just need reminding when the clocks change. All PMs, forum posts, etc all change their times accordingly too - so they will reflect the correct UK time. :-)
