All of the MM's I registered prior to DST ending in November remained an hour ahead the last couple months, so I'm assuming it needs to be done manually.
Guess I'll find out for sure now....

You have to go to your profile and set the time display ahead an hour (GMT-4 in your case).....

Merci buckets.
It changed them retroactively.
How cool is that?

Not only was it corrected automatically, it was corrected in the wrong direction to GMT - 6. Unless it began to believe I was in Armstrong, Ontario. on a train. Or along with Duke Ellington and Steely Dan in East St. Louis. Maybe. Or in sweet electric blues home Chicago. Now back to GMT - 5. Should be GMT - 4.
Pea should see "GMT - 5 hours" also. Corresponds to her observation.

So, do we have to change our own time stamps or not?

Apparently, we do.

Checking.

While this time change is easier from a perspective of clock changing, it's more difficult on my internal clock.

If you don't know your GMT offset, go to:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
and pick a city that is in your time zone. Six lines down from the name of the city is the Current time zone offset. Log into your Bored account and click on "Profile." There is a drop-down near the bottom that has your GMT offset setting. Change this to what you found on the timeanddate site. To verify, you don't even need to send a message. Start to reply to an existing message and click the "Preview" button. You will see the adjusted time at the top of the preview.

Thanks, Esto.
And as I hit submit, I will find out if I got it right.

I checked the time zone on my profile and it didn't appear to need changing. Guess this post will tell me if it does. Just ignore me.

I didn't change anything in my profile, but the time is correct when I hit Preview. I guess I've been posting an hour off since last fall.
Explains a lot . . .
