Wrong GMT time?

Hello all.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the GMT clock shown in the Problems page is wrong, is one hour in advance.
Better to check that before the new problem opening.
Regards!

The server uses British Summer Time. During the summer it is one hour in advance of GMT.

It seems so.
In that case, it should not say that the time shown is GMT, and the opening time is also wrong, the problem will open one hour before the time shown (8 am GMT).

Correct, it will open at 8 am BST. That's the only difference.
Now that you know it I think that will be no problem.
However, many countries on the northern hemisphere follow roughly the same scheme, so doing nothing at it seems the easiest way out for many members.

Only for members who mistakenly think GMT changes with the season. For the rest, there's a learning curve. (I'm over it now. Next victim?)
