For example, this reply of mine is stamped with 11:34 AM, which is the time that I posted it in my time zone.

(with the time change accomplished, and presenting no difference)

In my case - DU has always marked up posts as per Central timezone - whereas my own timezone, and computer, vary from that (and are correct in doing so)

My PC resets automatically. DU time also. I think it's a setting on your PC.
