GMT time settings

Right now, for me, it is 5:03 AM. I am in GMT -5 and my Profile/Options is correctly set to reflect that.

Yet at the bottom of my screen, the TBF page reads:

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 05:02 AM.

The time displays correctly, but why does it say GMT -4? Just curious. Shouldn't it be saying GMT -5 to match my Profile/Options time zone setting.

This is because we are currently on BST (British Summer Time) over here at the moment, thus we are actually on GMT+1. So it stands to reason that if you are 5 hours behind us then you are on GMT-4 (well this is how I interpreted it :) )
