On Sunday 29th March the clocks go forward by one hour in the UK and Europe and so to continue to display the current time thereafter on GWD, Members will need to make a minor adjustment to their profile settings.

All you need to do is to open your personal profile and scroll down to Dates and Times and toggle Currently Observing DST: from No to Yes, then scroll down to the bottom and click Modify Profile to accept the change.

North America changed over on March 9th but any USA/Canada members still seeing the 'wrong time' should also make this adjustment.

And don't try to console me with "but the evenings are lighter" because I prefer the long dark autumn & winter evenings ;D FA x

Auricula Garden Sage I'd rather be quaffing vino surrounded by fragrant blooms - but mostly I'm weeding!!

I don't bother, the clocks will be right again in 6 months time... lol

The clocks that matter auto update themselves. The ones in the kitchen are only used so the appliances work as they won't work without a time being set. I don't have any wall clocks anymore so there's only 2 clocks I don't change. The one on the cooker is set to the summer time, the microwave is set to the winter lol
