This forum uses UTC by default and it's 4 hours ahead of "New York" time.
To make it easier, you can search on google or you can simply set your forum display time to "New York" time (- 4) > Click "PROFILE" tab" at the top > Choose "Look and Layout Preferences" from the left menu (Modify Profile) > Go to "Time Offset:" (3rd from the top) > Change 0 to -4 > Click "Change profile" button from the bottom right corner.

Here is a historical note.

UTC is a time standard that has been adopted worldwide. It is based on the British Greenwich Meant time, which was established by the Greenwich observatory. GMT is a time zone and is used by some European and African countries. An important note is that neither UTC or GMT incorporate "daylight saving", and you will find that Britain uses British Summer Time during the summer months. There is a one hour difference between BST and GMT.

Why is GMT so important? Britain has been a major maritime nation for many centuries, and in 1884 the International Meridian Conference ruled that Greenwich had a meridian of 0. Ships could keep a chronometer set to GMT, and they could use this to calculate their current longitude.

Someone would have to go on about BST/DST but not it's current obvious uselessness.

The Canary Islands are in sync with BST I think - not that I'm there.


Anyway, there should be an option in your forum preferences to select the Inez one you want to use, for example, mine is set to my local time.

Well we aren't on it at the moment.

We seem to be operating on BRT ( British Rain Time ).

It's not raining where I am so we are in different time Zones!

Either do this:

Click "PROFILE" tab" at the top > Choose "Look and Layout Preferences" from the left menu (Modify Profile) > Go to "Time Offset:" (3rd from the top) > Change 0 to -4 > Click "Change profile" button from the bottom right corner.

Or, change your mobile's/computer's timezone to New York's, and have a check on the time from there and you should be good.

It does not matter anyway since you can make some adjustments with the time they had given to start doing signature campaign. The thing that really matter is the rules being set in the campaign. Thus, you should take your time in doing good post integrating it with the project you have joined that may help in marketing the project.  

To make it easier, you can search on google or you can simply set your forum display time to "New York" time (- 4) > Click "PROFILE" tab" at the top > Choose "Look and Layout Preferences" from the left menu (Modify Profile) > Go to "Time Offset:" (3rd from the top) > Change 0 to -4 > Click "Change profile" button from the bottom right corner.

I will take note of this one. I do signature bounty campaign of course and I found out this post was really helpful for this will come handy in the near future. I should take my time to read more on this section.
