Daylight Savings Time Reminder!!!

The United States and Canada switched to daylight savings time this morning. The United Kingdom does not change to daylight savings time until March 25, and since we use GMT for our schedule for B2MeM, that means that, for some participants, the posting time for new bingo numbers changes, as does the time when old numbers are closed.

Until March 25, new bingo numbers will be posted no later than 8 PM EST. Old numbers will be removed no earlier than 8 PM EST.

I'll post another notice when the times change in the UK so everyone remembers to adjust their schedules again, if necessary.

Ah, thank you, Dawn! I was having so much trouble figuring out the various time-switching time-not-switching. (Also, you got me to my appointment on time, because I forgot to switch :P)

Thanks! Good to know.

You act as though an extra hour to finish a prompt requires warning. *g* Now, if it had been eight but now things needed to be done by seven, *that* could cause some problems. For now, though, it's just an unexpected little gift.

Hee! I like this. Usually, being on GMT means I'm asleep when interesting things happen.

I'm really confused - is the deadline/numbers going up still going to be midnight GMT, regardless of who's changed the clocks when? Or are you saying that you're changing the times?

Well...it's going to be hard on Thursdays, but I'll work it out *plots how to smuggle computer into Chemistry Lab*. ;p

I'm actually glad the numbers will be up an hour later. It was messing with my head that they were posted so early in the evening. (Yes, I know I'm strange.)

Just to be technical - is it midnight GMT you are using (which does not change at all throughout the year) or is it midnight UK time - which does change. We are on GMT at the moment but go to BST (British Summer Time) on 25th March.

Sorry - you can tell I am an engineer by profession - I tend to try to be precise. Plus people calling UK time GMT tends to be one of my little bugbears as it is not factually correct - GMT never changes - our time does. It is something that cause fun with my MMO gaming where people tend to get confused about times frequently.
