Oh jeez, it's that time of year again. Seems like I just reset all my watches/clocks the other day. |

Yeah, the new North American DST does seem to start early and finish late. At least this one's easier because with an hour forward there are no 'danger zone' issues. |

And don't forget to change the time in your Breitling Source user preferences! |

We are stubborn in Arizona - no DST! There is a practical reason too - when it's 110 degrees, we really don't want an extra hour before the sun goes down. |

I had to go in and click 'yes' on the "sunlight/dst in effect" button for it to display the correct time. I had to go in and click 'no' last year when we fell back an hour. Every time clocks change, I have to go in and do that. Have I been doing something wrong all this time?  Edit - I guess I was doing it right! |

No it doesn't - it's set in the User Control Panel > Board Preferences Yes, but once you've set it once, it changes automatically, no? And if you haven't set it so far, why bother change with the DST time change? |

Never changed for me. It's not tied to the computer clock. Well, pardon me if I insist Roff, but I just chose UTC+1 once under Board preferences and after that every time I log in the time appearing at the top right hand side is the same as my computer's clock, hence actual time for me, DST or no DST. I will however monitor that at the end of the month (since we change to DST a coupla weeks later than you do) and I'll keep you posted if it stays on winter time because last year I noticed no error during DST. But maybe I'm wrong... |

I had to select "DST is in effect" for mine to be correct. No change in the actual UTC +/-. |
