Why is DU time

[dweller]

One hour behind ?
I can’t find an option to set to dst

1. It WAS correct for me, but not now (so use GMT settings).

Check to see if your time zone is set correctly and if so but time is wrong:
My DU
Account Settings
Scroll down to time zone.

ON EDIT, it does not seem to be working for me either now (though I could swear it was this morning). So use the GMT settings (GMT-4 for ET, GMT-5 for Central, GMT-6 for MT, etc.)

2. It is

USA/ET

3. The time zone selection does not provide an obvious choice for DST

In my own case, I just selected GMT -4 in place of EDT, and that works till next November.

4. Thanks

I’ll try that

5. That worked

Funny I don’t remember having to do this in the past
I’ve always had USA/et selected , and time was always correct

7. 👍

6. Yes. But sometimes it gets changed from your original setting. That is why I suggested checking.

[question everything]

8. No. I checked. Central time on My DU but not on the site

9. Well, as the other poster suggested, set it to GMT-5 for CT, GMT-4 for ET, GMT-6 for MT, etc.

THat certainly works. And I have now had to do that myself as it seemed to work this morning but not now...

10. Thanks. It does. Still strange

12. I think it was correct this morning

But then it wasn’t …

11. Ok did I break something ?

My fone resets itself , I reset the clocks etc but I’ve been on and off DU all morning and didn’t notice the time an hour off until I wrote that post .
In other words I don’t think it was off earlier , I think it was right … then it wasn’t . So I asked .
And like I said it never was a problem in the past , before this new version of DU . I remember the time set page (account settings) was different than it is now .

🤔

13. I noticed the same thing, DU didn't "spring ahead." EarlG answered here:
