If you notice, most of your posts are time stamping 8 or 9 hours head of the actual times (if in eastern time zone).

In your profiles, you need to select a negative number, ie, GMT -5 Hours; as an example.

Here is a time website to help you figure out the difference,

Better yet, here are the U.S. and some Canada settings:

Eastern: -4
Central: -5
Mountain: -6 (except Arizona)
Pacific:-7 (also Arizona)
These are the DST settings. When we change our clocks back in October; we may have to change the setting in our profiles.
