The time on my last post

* New: [Zeta] v2.1.037 Now Available! (0) - Andrew Watson - Sep 16,2009 at 17:18

is shown as 17:18

At the bottom of the page it shows:

Forum Time: Sep 16, 2009 - 2:20 am CDT

My current time is 16-9-09 15:20.

I've looked through my profile and I can't see any setting for local time zone. Is the forum software being toooooo smart and detecting that I am in Australia but assuming that we all live on the east coast where the time is 17:20?

Why is it so?

PS Anyone who grew up in Australia in the 60s or 70s will recognise this as the catchphrase of Professor Julius Sumner Miller an American physics professor/TV presenter.

I have sometimes wondered whether he was as famous in the USA as he was in Oz.

I see from the Wikipedia item on him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Sumner_Miller

that he did appear on US and Canadian TV.
