DST Software Error

It looks like we have a software error effecting the forums/galleries due to the daylight saving time fiasco. We hope to have this resolved today.

In case you are wondering, I would vote in a heartbeat to abolish this idiotic practice! Some links of interest;

Jim, I'm will you 100%. DST is useless.

Copy that, Ghost Rider!

The answer is simple - move to Arizona! We stay on Mountain Standard Time year round, except for the lands of the Navajo Nation that follow DST.

The only disadvantage to this practice for us is having to explain to our relatives outside AZ twice a year that the timeshift change between them and us is the result of their actions, not ours.

We live far enough west in the Eastern time zone that DST is a plus IMO.

Part of the problem lies in the width of the Eastern time zone. Looking at the longitude meridians, CT, VT, NH, ME and Long Island ought to be in the Atlantic time zone.

Jim, interestingly, the DST error did not affect the Digital Imaging nor the Hot Topics Forums.

Living in a part of the world where the sun would rise around 4:00AM during the summer (Edmonton, Alberta), I vastly prefer DST where instead the sun rises around 5:00AM and we get to enjoy the sun until 10:00PM and it stays lightish until about 11:00PM.

Getting up for those 5:00AM sunrises is tough enough, let alone 4:00AM.

I'd personally prefer we just stayed on DST year-round.

I would rather have DST all year round. I like having extra hour in the evening.
