'm pretty sure there's no way to fix this... but the time zone thingy doesn't account for daylight savings... so even though I am now set to GMT, it's still an hour ahead... so it's 9.27 by me, but the forum insists its 10.27...

Just under the setting to change your time zone is a tick box for "Summer Time/DST is in effect."

If you'd like to watch a man descend into madness, as a tribute of thanks to the developers who figured out time and timezones for our software, this video is fun:
