If you are a registered user and would like to adjust the time settings for your account to reflect the change from daylight savings time (summer time) back to standard time, just do the following:

1. Log in to your account
2. Go to the "Board Preferences" page in your User Control Panel
3. Look down the list of settings for the one related to "Summer Time/DST is in effect", and click the circle to the left of "No"
4. Press the "Submit" button.

While you are changing the "Summer Time/Daylight Savings Time", you also may want to double check that the timezone setting is correct for your account. The default is U.S. Eastern Time. However, you can change it to whatever is appropriate for you. That way, all times displayed in the forum will be your local time.
