Time? What is it?

I've set my Board preferences to GMT of course, coz that's what we're in here in UK for the winter.
However, when I look at the Board Index page without being logged in, it shows an hour ahead.
I know we run an "International" forum, so why do we use something other than GMT/UTC?

On the left side of the control panel, underneath "My time zone" it should say "Summer Time / DST is in effect Yes No"
Click on "No" and you'll gain an hour!

You didn't read my post properly.
I said, "without being logged in, it shows an hour ahead."

Is it better now ??
I'm pretty confused because I'm running on French time.
I thought that the forum handled the daylight-saving-time automatically. Now it looks as though it doesn't.

Bonjour to you, Monsieur Graham.
That's fixed it!
Merci.
Why did it change? I'm sure it wasn't wrong last the 'time' we had GMT, or if it was, I didn't notice.

I haven't got the faintest idea what the settings were for the British Summer Time changeover or whether I changed anything. My braincells don't last long enough these days.
