I get

Quoting:
All times are recorded in CST
so perhaps it has something to do with our local time zone? I'm central time here.

Hmmm, intresting. Mine used to say EST. I've switched to Firefox, which I am learning to hate. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I just checked my IE, and Safari browsers. They (along with Firefox) all say -5.

Does it stand for Greenwich Meridian Time? and then each time zone is + or - from that point? Finland being 2 time zones east and NC being 5 zones west of Greenwich.

Or Greenwich Mean Time, aka Zulu time - the Z referring to the prime meridian.

But now that I think about it a little more, I think Dave actually uses Universal Time Conversion (UTC) which is more precise than GMT.

UTC and GMT are one and the same as far as I know and yes the numbers would indicate the off-set from GMT/UTC.
The display on the bottom will depend on what is set in your Member Preferences (I believe).

I fixed the bottom for the US members. It should show the correct name now.
