Time Zone problem?

In the User CP -> Edit Options, I've set my time zone to US Central Time and DST automatically detected, and it lists it as GMT -6. However, at the bottom of all pages it has "All times are GMT -5.", even after changing the options and saving again, and the board time is one hour *behind* me. For example, it's now 7:50pm GMT, 2:50pm local (GMT-6+1DST) yet the page is saying it's 1:50pm (GMT-7). What's up here?

The forum software is confused about DST. Well... more confused than it usually is about timezones anyway. Had to set mine 1 hour ahead of the usual and disable anything to do with DST.

I think Ace said that to fix it would totally jumble the threads up and cause even more confusion . . . so the best thing to do would be to set it so the time reads correct regardless of what timezone it is
