We're in the UK.
I went into Admin CP and checked - times are correct. Daylight saving is set to on.
The server time is also correct. And the forum time is correct for unregistered/not logged in people.
But for (some?) members, it's still showing GMT - not BST.
I edited my profile options without changing anything and the time is now correct for me.
Any ideas?

What do you mean 'for some members'? If they have the correct settings in their User CPs, then they should see the correct times.

Please do not email or PM me for vBulletin support. I will be more than glad to answer your questions on the vB Forums and in the support system.
Just remember that what happens in localhost, stays in localhost.
Had a similar problem with one of my members too. Last year when we went into Daylight Saving Time, she was an hour out. In the end I logged in under her username and password and all her settings were correct, and set the same as mine which was giving me the correct time - yet she was an hour out.
Now she has to change her setting manually, as on Auto it doesn't appear to work. No idea why, but that's how she got round it.
I'm in Sydney Australia (GMT +10 now but was GMT +11 - 8 days ago)
My server time is GMT - 6 and that's been verified (not that it should matter given it only affects non-logged in users from I can gather) , when my adminCP shows the correct timezone with D/L savings set to auto - my all posts are showing up wrong.
e.g. I just posted at 9:00am local time but the posts shows as 10:00am.
Now the only way I can get my posts to show the correct time is to have my timezone set to GMT + 9 and turn the "DST Correction Option" to "always off"
That doesn't seem right
Yup - same problem here actually ... servers are reporting time an hour out.
I'm wondering if it is because local time here in Australia is 3rd April already, but US time where the servers are is still yesterday 2nd April where daylight savings is yet to start. vBulletin is probably calulating it wrong for now ?
Perhaps it will all resolve itself once the servers pass into daylight savings time ?
It is most likely the version of Javascript in her browser that prevents this.Originally Posted by Christie

I've been seeing the same thing with my server in the last 30 or so minutes since it moved into DST time along with myself. For me the times were two hours out (the board was displaying: 1:10 in the footer at 3:10 local time for both the server and myself). As soon as I went into my options and submitted the form without changing anything and all the times synced up. Initially I thought it was a weird caching issue, but it happened with my normal user account in firefox and my account I use for testing things in Internet Explorer as well.
Okay - just like I suspected, the problem has just resolved itself at 6pm Sydney time (2am CST) ... this was a vBulletin problem when the server thought daylight savings had started (2am, 3rd April, Sydney time), whereas in reality the servers (which are hosted in the US and are on CST time), didn't actually change to DST until 6pm Sydney time ... for the 16 hours between 2am Sydney time and 2am US CST, the time was wrong since the forum had started compensating for US DST before the servers had.
I say it's a bug, but a minor one ! I expect we'd only see the bug manifest itself twice a year, and then only for a maximum of less than 24 hours !!
