Well, if you check above for my large photo, and go back a page or two, you'll see me mention to the Admin/Dev's about my time zone issue, and they deny doing anything. BUT if the emails used to be sent at 12am ET and now being sent at 8pm ET, than there is something the dev's or admins did, and not something you and I did.
As for not using DST, well who can tell with the wonky stuff going on? (here's hoping I don't get banned for blaming this on the culprits! *L*)
