Showing wrong time on forums

When I post in the forums, it shows as "A_Dragon_Riding_King posted 1 hour ago" when I posted 30 seconds ago.
that usually means that the clock on your device is set up incorrectly.
My laptop thinks I am an hour behind, so I had to manually set it. The time is correct, yet the problem persists.

that's very likely still the problem though. i'm not an expert, but most likely you will have to tell us your os, and how you "manually" set the clock.
Windows 11, settings > Date and Time > set time automatically = off, turning back on sets me back an hour. So "Set time automatically" = off, "Set time and date manually" hit "change", set correct time and confirm.
Reload the page, time is right, but problem persists.
When time is set to "Automatically" and I reload the page, the forum posting times are correct, but time is back 1 hour.
Changing my clock to the correct time and reloading the page shows the change. Changing my clock is almost certainly what causes the problem.

Any ideas how to fix?
Select or deselect the option for adjusting to daylight savings time automatically
@A_Dragon_Riding_King the time shown in blue is based off your system time meaning it shows 1 hour ago because your clock is setup wrong if your country uses daylight savings in enable it in settings date and time or just select a timezone 1 hour back
