What time is it?

Something odd I've just noticed.

If you look in on the site as a guest, the time shown where people have posted is always one hour in the past. Then as soon as I log in the time corrects itself.

Is this intentional?

I imagine that until you log in the site is shown in default time which must be GMT but then when you log in, as you are in the UK it will show British Summertime for you. Probably for our US friends they are shown their local time.

I think the time zone is a feature of your profile but I haven't looked for ages.

yes there it is in "edit options"

Thank you, it all makes perfect sense now but if I hadn't asked I'd still be wondering.
