I just noticed my forum time was off by an hour, so I checked my timezone, and it was correct. I then noticed that there was a setting to turn on/off DST. Isn't this supposed to happen automatically, or is that just how this forum software works, you have to manually turn DST on/off to display the correct times?
Actually, my Escape has the easiest clock setting function I've ever used in a car. Turn the radio on, push the "clock" button, use the station selector buttons to punch in the time, and leave it for a few seconds before turning off the radio.
As for the time change, it's just a nuisance. Whether or not kids go or come home from school also depends on the latitude, after all. I got fouled up this year for an early meeting because I guessed wrong whether my watch and phone updated automatically. (Both did, I set the alarm only on the phone, but the phone updated despite my attempt to set offline it to prevent an update. Then because it was offline, the other parties were unable to contact me to find out where I was.) At least the Escape had a predictable time display.
Thought my new Escape might auto adjust for DST but NO (life is tough) :lol:
