GMT or BST ?

Just a minor observation, but the Pprune clock is now showing British Summer Time, even though it says "All Times GMT".

I expect Danny and the Mods are very busy with many other more pressing issues at present, but I humbly suggest that GMT is more appropriate to an International Aviation forum.

And as a result at least some of the offset times are wrong as well... (e.g. HK is showing one hour later than it is).

Actually UTC would be more appropriate to an International Aviation Forum

Exclamation

Well I adjusted my GMT offset so that posts display local time, but I notice that the new post icon (box with the down arrow in it) is now one hour slow. IOW it does not appear beside topics which were updated in the first hour after I logged off.

A small thing, but I wouldn't want anyone to miss the pearls of wisdom which appear here.
