The time stamps on posts haven't been updated to CDT. Thought some admin would want to know. :)

Actually the server updated its self just fine, and the timestamp issue is related to your profile or computer settings. Please go to your User CP and confirm you have the correct time zone set and "Automatically detect DST settings" is enabled. If it is then double check that your Windows control panel has been set correctly and all updates have been applied.

I've been having the same problem myself and haven't figured it out, but the best thing I could figure out is to go here:

Set the time zone to GMT -6, and set DST corrections to always on. If it's done right, then the bottom of the page on this site should say:

All times are GMT -5. The time now is ...

You may need to check it again in April and change it back when DST is off in the fall.

I had the same issue as jax, and had to set it to DST corrections always on. I previously had it set at automatically detect DST updates.

It works fine now.

We're working with the vBulletin team to find out why the "Auto detection" is not working for everyone as it should. It is not related to the server, but rather the computers, so hopefully they can find the common trend. We'll keep you updated.

Since I haven't updated my OS to account for the new CDT dates, "DST corrections always on" was what I needed. I'm surprised a webapp could detect my OS settings.

I'm not sure if this is still an issue, but It's 8:17 right now and the time stamps are reading 7:17. Do I need to go ahead and change my CDT to Always on? What's the status on this?

Yeah, you'll need to go ahead and do that. The issue is somehow related to your local machine, however while working with the software team we've been unable to pinpoint what exactly needs to be updated for you. My guess is when the original DST day rolls around it will be set correctly. Until then, do the "always on" setting.
