That's interesting...

I always thought daylight savings time was universal. I guess not.

Anyway, since the servers are hosted in America and vB is an American company, the time will go forward on Saturday.

Oh I see.

That's one thing they could improve on for vB though. So like, if you choose GMT as your time setting, the clock will automatically move foward for that region.

Some areas dont even convert to daylight savings time. They just keep the same time all year.

Has anyone here ever experienced jetlag? I haven't but I hear it's a real sensation. What does it feel like?

jetlag is where you say leave europe in the middle of the night and yuor tired as hell and you arrive in the u.s. in the morning, therefore you move back a whole day or move ahead a whole day from that point making you feel like sheit, and whereyour biological clock gets all screwed up by time, and travel.

Yeah.... And when you finally get used to the new time, you usually have to go back home.

I had really bad jet lag when I went to Europe over the summer in my attempts to stalk Shadow_Link and sdtPikachu. It wasn't so bad going over, but arriving back home really knocked me out for a few days.

Tip: The way to recover quickly from jet lag is to suck it up and stay awake until night time in your current time zone. You won't feel totally normal on the morning after, but you'll feel much better the day after that. If you just fall asleep whenever you're tired, you could take weeks to get back in shape.

I've only ever experienced jet lag whenever I come back to the UK. I don't actually feel any jet lag whenever I go somewhere in the US, but it's just when I come back.

I'd imagine that it'd just be like staying up all night.
