Last time I looked at the forum code it writes machine date in the database and translates that when displayed.
Upper left corner, below "Board Index". If page is refreshed that time should match your local time. This a simple concept. When time changes occur seasonally one needs to adjust the board time in their Board Preferences. Otherwise time stamps on your posts will be off by an hour. For me it is UTC-4:00 for Daylight Savings Time and UTC-5:00 for Standard time.

You might need to close the 'Welcome' messages (x at top-right) which will reveal the site time as stated, at least in Firefox.

@antiX-Dave,
I've always understood, that if my local time is correct,
then posts reflect when posted in my local time.

Seems like the date and time used to be shown at the top of the forum.
I'll have to look for it.

Hide the announcement, X in the upper right corner. If a new announcement is added it will reappear on login.
Time can then be seen at the upper left under "Index".

Also post time shown will be Forum time which is your local time if set properly.

I'm unable to locate any clock on the forum!

The description of its location means I should be seeing it somewhere here?

Same here. No clock under Board index. For information I use Vivaldi.

The site time disappears when I logged out as a test, so I mention this in case it reflects the above viewing conditions.

My mistake. Time appears under Board index when you're at the first page of the board.

Ah, OK, got it now. I rarely go there!
