Forum preferences - time

   Currently in the forum preferences it is possible to specify the time
offset from the forum server time, so that message times reflect your
local time.  However, as I found out today, the server time
changes when its local daylight savings status changes.  Is there
any way of changing this option so that it is possible to set the
offset to some fixed time (eg GMT)?  This would be of benefit for
people in countries who don't make use of daylight savings (like South
Africa), or whose daylight savings periods are different.

	Just recalculate the time difference in your progarchives profile

	That's what I did. What I'm asking is if it's possible to change it so that it can be set relative to a fixed time that doesn't alter, for example GMT.
