You may want to change the DU time zone you use to 'GMT-1' (now fixed)

DU appears to have used the American date for daylight savings across the whole world - see http://www.democraticunderground.com/124060150 . Unless the server has been fixed after I write this - see if it looks like the times are displaying OK for you.

On edit: Elad fixed it.

so that we change at 1am GMT, 2 am Central European Time, and so on, on the same day.

This page lists when various countries change. There isn't a single date that dominates, but, because the EU has coordinated (and I think all the non-EU European countries have gone with them too), it's probably the most common date in terms of number of countries.

Russia decided to stay permanently on daylight savings time, from last autumn onwards.
