REMINDER: Clocks went back...

Postby dutchman » Sat Oct 25, 2025 10:57 pm

Clocks went back one hour at 2.00am in line with Greenwich Mean Time.

Unlike most operating systems the times displayed on the message board do not adjust automatically.

If this board is still displaying the old time on your PC please go to the User Control Panel and check that "Summer Time/DST is in effect" is disabled in "Board preferences". [Tick "No" and then "Submit"]

Octopus totally screwed-up my heating timers last spring, shifting their off-peak electricity supply by TWO hours instead of one! :fuming:

I'm curious to see what will happen this time? :tinfoilhat:

The power came on at the right time but went off seven minutes early. The water heater didn't know that so continued using electricity at double the normal rate! It's incredibly tedious to reset the timer as well. :fuming:
