There is something strange with the timezones.
I went to my UserPreferences page and I saw the following two lines:
Time zone Your time is 2002-08-14 14:34:11 [+00:00]
Server time is 2002-08-14 14:34:11
The strange thing is, my time at that time was 2002-08-14 14:34:11
[+02:00], but it looks like the server is in the same timezone as I
am, but thinks it is in GMT.
