Since DST is now over, your forum clock might be an hour off, which 'might' disrupt your posts/notifications.

To fix this, clik on 'User Control Panel' in upper left corner of main page, then 'Board Preferences' tab, then check NO next to "Summer Time/DST is in effect", then clik SUBMIT. Thats it.

Mine does it, too. I think the thermostat broke and we need to start the heater, too. Bob, can you fix these problems?

Hell yeah its cold in here. And I cheated, left mine in DST mode so I wouldn't have to hurry home before dark but it got dark early anyway yesterday, and I got stuck in rush hour traffic here. Not fun. <dope>

The biggest problem with the change does seem to be the narrow window where it is warm enough to ride now made even narrower if avoiding rush hour. May need to plan winter trips to southern California or something.

Yep window is way too short. At 5:15 the sun suddenly dipped down to the horizon and suddenly it felt 20 degrees colder, and I was stuck in a 3/4 mile long gridlock getting cold because my heated jacket was in the topcase. And getting dark fast. I may start riding weekends to avoid that scenario, although its against my religion. <rdr>
