Fall/Spring Daylight Savings changes

The first weekend in November officially marks the 'fall back' from Daylight Savings Time for most time zones. This is something that must be done manually on the forum, but is a simple task.

Select the User Control Panel in the upper left corner, beneath the banner.
Select the Board Preferences tab

Come spring just do the same thing but change the DST setting to "yes."

Note: The board will always be at GMT/UTC -05:00 - This is Eastern Standard Time. This makes it easier since we have members from all around the world that do and do not observe Daylight Savings time. Let alone start and stop observing on different dates.
