US Daylight Savings Time
With the change this morning to Daylight Savings Time, I see that markets are still set to PST.
Will there be manual changes made to the Suspension Time in existing markets?
Would it be helpful for an announcement to be made to users, advising there is now a +1 hour difference between PST and PDT. so that time-specific markets can be set accurately?

Inappropriate?Dammit, forgot to check that in the server configuration, and what with this crazy moving daylight savings forward in the US thing it wasn't even on my horizon.
I think the best plan is probably to force the server to stay on PST all year round, and have people take account of that when they set the settlement times, but I'm open to suggestions (I doubt a significant number of settlements will be affected before tomorrow if I don't fix it until then)
Opinions people please?

Inappropriate?Historically, there have been a number of major US institutions that remained on standard time year round... however that was pre-web, and I don't know how many, if any, still have that practice. The point is, keeping the servers on standard time is not without precedent ;-)
Ideally, the board would be configured for user-preference localization (user settings) such that any user (world-wide) could set their own time-offset from GMT (or UTC). I dunno how much of a hurdle that would be for HD to implement.
