BST

How come when not signed it it shows the correct BST, but when signed in shows incorrect time that's an hour behind.

    The server sets the time in UTC (same as GMT but less imperial) and then javascript localises that to the timezone on your computer client side. So either your computer isnt set to London or the JS failed or is blocked so the UTC value is shown

    Why only this site and when signed in, everything and everywhere apart from that issue is correct.

    Your post is showing as 1.28 and it is now 1.30. If it was an hour behind, shouldn’t it be showing as 12.28?

    Pedant alert - it's could have not could of.

    My days of getting excited about reading scripting are long behind me, certainly this site uses relative links for the JS rather than a common store and therefore they maybe bespoke to either this site or any Vanilla Forum website but different to millions of others that use the jQuery.js library.

    Can you open the consol in the browser and look at any javascript error/warning messages? Using Safari here its rendering fine for me but can see my settings are blocking a tracking script and I have two error messages about a colour code being invalid.

    Couldn't see any errors, tried it on FireFox LibreWolf & Ungoogled all the same.

    FF is totally untouched as use that when I want to be tracked.

    seems to be a problem at your end though if it’s showing up as normal for the rest of us.

    No other site is affected, only this one when signed in, I had a look at my personal settings on here, but couldn't see anything that allowed change of time-zones.
