My forum posting time is wrong?

This says it was posted Thursday at 3:00 am in the morning!?! There is no way I was up this late last night. I posted this post originally at ten thirty pm on Wednesday! Any explanation for this? Does it have to do with time zones?

Setting the board to reflect your time zone

From TORn FAQ:
1.14 How do I set the board to reflect my time zone? The TORn message board’s default time is set to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). To set the boards to reflect you time zone, click on the [Edit Profile] icon at the top of the board, then click on [Display Settings]. Scroll down to the last option: “Time Offset (in hours).” If your time zone is ahead of GMT (London, depending on daylight savings time), enter the number of hours you are ahead of GMT as a positive number. If your time zone is behind GMT, enter the number of hours you are behind as a negative number. For example, if you live in New York, you would enter a -5; Auckland, a 13 and Los Angeles, a -8. Please note that these offsets will change when your time zone goes on and off daylight savings time. For help in determining your offset, go the World Clock on timeanddate.com, and or Google “Time Zones.”

You need to tell the forum what your time zone is in UTC

First determine what your zone is in terms of Universal Time Code.
For example, if I click on my location on this map:
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/
It takes me to a page that says:
Time Zone
CDT (Central Daylight Time)
UTC/GMT -5 hours
The number I'm looking for is -5. (This takes into account Daylight Savings Time. When we leave DST, it will say -6)
Now go to : Edit Profile > Display Settings
In the field that says, Time Offset (in hours):
I would put -5.
And you would put whatever number you have for your location.
Hope that helps.

I know for a fact that I did not use this after 8:00 last night. Thank you so much. I thought I was losing my mind.
