Wikitree Server Time is currently 1 hour ahead of GMT

In a recent discussion (http://www.wikitree.com/g2g/198595/contribution-points-and-thank-you) it says that the Wikitree servers are running on GMT. However, as I'm in the UK, where GMT is our current local time, I can see that the server time is actually an hour ahead - so I'm writing this at 22:39 local time, but the server will record it as being written at 23:39.

 

Not sure if this needs fixing, but I thought it worth a mention.

I noticed this the other day, the large button that says FILL IN FROM browser looks like a SAVE BUTTON (but it's not), you need to scroll down and click the SAVE SETTINGS BUTTON. (That's a little confusing!)

I've answered my own question :)

I've just found that this is caused by my "Settings" - I had a difference of 1 hour set - presumably because it was British Summer Time (daylight saving) when I first set up my account.
