I am very sorry to bother, but where can I find how to change my timezone. Mine is not showing the correct time stamp for my posts.
The time on my phone shows 7:12pm est.

Step 1.
Go to the very top of this page, on the right side there are three icons: a book, a pen, a person. Click on the person. This will take you to your author profile.
Step 2.
When the profile opens (it will take a few seconds) click on the same icon again, this will open a menu. Choose "options" from that menu.
Step 3
There are two choices on the top "my profile" and "my options", click on "my options"
Find the time menu there.

Has this changed? I'm not seeing "a book, a pen and a person."
Not on the right, anyway. I see a book labeled "Explore" and a pen labeled "New Story," these are both in the middle. I see my own name and avatar near the upper right. It doesn't take me to my author profile.
I can get to my author profile through the Stories part of the site. I have a time zone set in there. That preference does not carry over into the Forums. Every timestamp I see in the Forums is off by 8 hours.

If you use the new design on a desktop, open your control panel (your Avatar in the top-right corner) -> Options.
Then on the "My Options"-Tab in the top.
Now you can select the right Time-Zone. That will be used for the Forum as well.
If you use the new design on a smartphone, click the Avatar-Icon (still in the top-right corner) to extend the Control-Panel, and choose "Options" -> "My Options"

Thanks but if you'll read my stuff above you'll see I already set my time zone in "My Options."
It doesn't affect the Forum.

Stupid Question, but are you sure you clicked on "Save Changes" after setting a timezone?
Because I just checked, just to be sure, and that setting definitely carries over to the forum for me.
Even on my phone, when I change the setting on my desktop-PC, and I can't find any option in the Forum's settings that would overwrite this.

Not stupid, yes it's saved.
It's weird because I'm not even sure where on the Stories section of the site we even see timestamps at all. As far as I can tell the Forum is the only place on the whole site we see them.
Just for experiment, I have changed it to different time zones to see if maybe it's saving the time zone correctly but just applying the offset wrong, in a way which makes it appear that my LA preference yields the GMT time.
Nope. Nothing I do to the timezone changes what I see in the Forum. It's not even "different wrong," it's just displayed in GMT all the time.

It’s 1am and I have just had a thought - the site time is wrong. Can someone else check this please.

Then mine shows this,
Which you can clearly see is an hour later than the actual post. I think this is going to drive me insane

Funny thing is... I'm currently in a GMT+2 zone as well, and thought everything was fine because my times are shown correctly. Turns out, though... GMT+1 is selected in my options, and I do not recall ever changing that.

So if I think what you are saying is that if your time zone was correct you would be seeing it as I do??

Yes. Everything would be one hour ahead of what all of my local clocks say.

So then it is a site system problem?

So it seems that this affects everyone who is not in a DST country. In order for me to see the correct time I post I will ave to change my timezone from GMT +2 to GMT +1. Makes no sense that there is no option in our options to turn DST on or off. This will correct itself sometime in November I suspect.
