Hi, Honorbuddyuser1,
As the others have stated, the times and dates on each post are 'local' time. You can adjust your local time in your forum profile settings.
When the Bossland staff communicates using times and dates, those are always stated in UTC. Thus, users can add or subtract the appropriate offset to figure out the corresponding local time. We try to make this clear by appending the letters "UTC" to the time. If the letters are omitted, this is what you should assume.
cheers,
