BST still lurking

After all that business about the clocks being put back on TV Forum a while ago I've noticed that the clock on Metropol is still set to BST but only when I'm logged off.

It's when I log on that the clock corrects itself by going back to GMT and then it's fine. But I would like to know why it does it, is it a minor bug or something that's left untouched until it goes back to BST next year. (I first discovered Metropol in May/June)

Something similar happened to another forum where the clock there is perpetually GMT and when you log on it corrects itself.

I find it fustrating because I find it confusing whenever the clock is jumping an hour ahead and I have to log on just to make it correct.

Has this ever happened before?

It happens every winter here on Metroplop.

Purely because I have an ABSOLUTE hatred of most of the staff over at the other place, I ALWAYS mention it LOUDLY if it happens over there, even if only for an hour or so.

It happens here for the whole of every winter, but I don't see any point in complaining about the service from our warm, cuddly Metromanager(s) who are so nice to us over here.

To slightly mis-quote an old, daytime, TVS continuity announcer, when doodling on the schedule for the evening's announcer, it's only a MINOR clock-up, after all.
