I cannot figure out why the time stamp is 1 hour behind on posts. I checked time table and DST and everything seems to be correct. Any suggestions?
Current settings Are: GMT 5.00 Eastern time USA and Canada, Bogota,Lima. Daylight Savings Time are on auto correct.
Should be -5. +5 would be on the Rhodesia / Afghanistan / Istanbul side, - is the North America, Hawaii, Greenland side.Current settings Are: GMT 5.00 ...

That probably won't fix your problem because one hour off is weird, but still ...
Don't know. But a +5 offset is definitely wrong for his location. Looking at a map of the world with England in the center, everything on the left is minus while everything on the right is plus.? Not certain he IS an hour off?
It's showing i hour behind. I'm posting this at 5:21 eastern time. It's showing up as 4:21.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I am genuinely curious.
but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why anyone would care. Are you planning to use your posts in a court of law or something?

I have mine set to GMT -5 and it shows up correct. For DST I change it to -6.
Not what you said The tiniest features count in computing.That is what mine is set on.
PM posts are only the symptom of a wider issue for the user, here.
Makes a HUGE difference in very ordinary working shared across time zones - or even WITHIN the same TZ or on the SAME platform for ONE user - that whenever database entries, text or drawing files - banking transactions - ANY file - is/are created, edited, accessed, updated, sorted, merged, split - that there is a stable means of knowing which contribution is older or newer to keep them in order.
There is a natural disjoint as one activity is sitting idle whilst a contributor goes for a coffee or does side research, or just types more slowly, but that just has to be whatever it is and go by the "posting" time-stamp.
IF, OTOH, even your own "box" used different time-stamp sources within one application than it uses for some OTHER application, older work could be undoing LATER revisions instead of the other way around.
As it DID do when early "personal" computers did not even have a system clock that related to "real" or "wall clock" time at all.
Time was, we had to add those as extra cost accessories.
File systems didn't originally have time-stamps, either. We had to source those and add our own timestamps to databases where it mattered.
Think most anything in commerce where the movement of money was meant to be recorded. Or WHICH person booked a given theatre seat or the last available hotel room or alloy wheel for sale.
So yaz .. it affects nearly all of us in one form or another.
What is afoot with the goat?
The most common faux pas is to have local workstation TZ off by an hour.
No klew what WinWOEs does, but on unix or linux, just type:
date <Return>
..and it tells yah time & time zone it is set to "think" it is in.
IF/as/when the time is off by more than a fractional second? It is also missing access to a proper master global time source.
All that is online if you want to read up on it.
Start with "network time" and GPS then go BACK as far as you have time for!

Servers, hardware, virtual, or "cloud".. - all Operating Systems - and the workstations of those of us who run Unix.. run on UCT,
Corrected GMT, IOW.
"UCT time now".
The original name for what became UTC is GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); the old names endure in many places.
Umm, no, it's UTC, meaning "Coordinated Universal Time" in English.
It was a compromise between French and English words for the same thing. See "Etymology" in the Wiki article:
Coordinated Universal Time - Wikipedia
