What time zone is the board set to, and does that region run Daylight Saving ?

I noticed that the profile allows one to offset for one's time zone, and since I'm already in the World of Tomorrow (yep, it's Saturday here right now), I thought I'd take advantage of it, rather than continually add about 2/3 of a day.

When I set the board software up it defaulted to GMT. The board has a built in offset, which I set to -5 (eastern US.) So right now as you see it, it is GMT-5. I hope that allows you to set it to a sane offset for yourself.

To adjust your personal time display, go to your profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Time Offset

And select your preference.  I believe Sydney is GMT+10, so your offset would be +5 +10 = +15!

DST starts 14 March in the US.  Maybe GB can tell us what happens then.
