Tech question: Why does DU display Greenwich Mean Time and not my local time zone.
My computers all display DU time in Greenwich Mean Time, not my local time. Is that the case with everybody?

1. My dear denbot!
It does that for everybody, until you change it. Just go into Options, and you'll see how. There's a bunch of choices and one of them is which time zone are you in?

When I travel, I change it to match whichever time zone I'm in...it helps keep me oriented!

:hi:

you can change it.

Click OPTIONS (top of the page)
then in PREFERENCES you will find something about time zones - pick the one you want to use.
