Does anyone else have this problem! I have my posting times set to PST +3 hours. That all works fine except when I edit a post. Then the time shows up as PST only. It is not a big problem but I wonder if everyone's edit times are PST only. Helps to know when I read someone else's edited posts.
 
On the main page of the BB, there is a notice that ALL times are Pacific time. That's so the BB can sort the posts in true chronological order, rather than someone in another time zone always being pushed to the top of the page because they are in a time zone where it's three hours later.

I've never seen any posts that were not stamped with PST/PDT whether it's the edit stamp or the original date. Of course I live in the pacific time zone, so I've never had any need to try and apply a correction factor.

Incidently, the edit times are part of the message text and any correction factor that may apply has no way of knowing whether they're a BB related date or someone's birthday.
